Possibly a plug lead chafed through ;) run it in the dark and have a look for any signs of escaping sparks ;)

if you are really brave, run it up and try rubbing you hands along the plug leads, you will know if you got a short :o

As Kev says

The front plug lead normally chaffs on the idle adjuster...

lol. I forgot to say that this happened to me with about 5k miles done. Bought Magnecor leads from www.sparkplugs.co.uk. cable tie them so they don't rub on frame or idle adjuster.
