xtx missfire / stutter

Hi all, just looking for solution to my loss of power at high speeds ie 50 - 70 mph, My bike didn't start one day i think its a bad connection from the starter switch to the main wiring loom, as when i turn the handle bars or try to start again it sometimes works.
Then my bike started missing at normal riding speeds, started very sparadically but then more and more especially when bike been running for a while. I checked the plug and swapped it with another one i had and changed the oil while i was at it. Thought it had cured but no it seems to be getting worse. I had a look at the wiring block under the fuel tank and cleaned connections taped a wire that looked a bit sus, and that seems to have fixed the starting issues but not the misfire/ stutter.
any suggestions would be great also could the two faults be linked?. the bike runs fine on idle and low revs.
