Acceleration problem
Ricky-D:
One thing you do not want to do is mess with removing the carburetors.
If the motor ran fine before, look elsewhere for the fix.
Maybe that aftermarket cruise control is the problem. Sound like it is already a problem. Why have it in the first place?
If the hoses haven't been replaced in eight years, then change them.
A course of SeaFoam would be a recommendation also.
Get the problem corrected before going on to other things which can really complicate matters if not repaired first off.
f6john:
As a last resort have you done anything to affect airflow to the intake box? I had to put a spacer under the front gas tank mount to correct a problem I was having. Mine would run like a bat out of hades up to 4000 rpm and then nothing. The spacer would be a quick and inexpensive fix if it would work.
John U.:
It sounds like your bike is leaning out at high rpms. The suggestions to start with the petcock and vacume hoses are right. Vacume leaks can also be caused by the rubber connectors between the chrome intake tubes and the carbs, or the O-rings that seal the intake tubes to the engine. Also check the intake nipple plugs, they can deteteriorate too.
