Ever since purchasing this 86 VR in April, I have been chasing an acceleration hesitation problem. Only hesitates when engine is at idle and the throttle is cracked open. The motor does not respond and hesitates and may even die. I have been completely through the carbs, including new sliders and diaphragms. No vacuum leaks at alll anymore. Is this a symptom of running too lean or too rich? Everything else is fine, compression is great, plugs are new, well fairly new, new wires, boost sensor is operational, no problems with the vacuum line to the boost sensor. Valve adjustment is right on. What am I missing? I think is still a carburetion issue but can't pin it down. Any thoughts?

When I am accelerating from a complete stop my bike hesitates when I release the clutch. The only way I can prevent this is to rev the engine a bit before I release the clutch. I have had the carbs synched by two different dealers with the same end result. One dealer has suggested that the carbs are dirty and they will gladly pull and clean them for $340. I told him that I can't believe a 3 year old bike with only 7500 miles needs the carbs cleaned. Scott 06 RSTD
