SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO UPDATE THIS... I HAVE BEEN BUSY AND OUT OF TOWN A LOT>
ITS DONE!!!!
finally up and going! thanks for the help:
it WAS the Air intake form the Air Solenoid that was not getting enough airflow an flooding out the carb barrels. if you have this problem, be sure that the two tubes in front of the bike (the upper cowl just next to the ram air (that goes into the airbox)) are in the highest airflow possible. my aftermarket fairings didnt have aspot for them so i needed tozip tie them inplace.
mine was not, and it caused mixture problems that flooded the bike out at higher rpm ranges. THANKS AGAIN TO ALL

"Jack" Can you contact me? Same issues would love to see pictures etc.
Frankmackie,
Sorry we never go in touch on the phone. Glad to hear your bike was is up and running. It's btich to find out that it will take two zip ties to get you back on the road, eh? I wasn't getting emails letting me know you posted again. Just checked it now. Sorry mate. I hoped I helped out with my info. To the other riders out there with this problem, Let me know if you have this problem. Email me, call me, smoke signals, what ever it takes to help out with this frustrating problem.

Thank you 10 years later!!
The air system is very specific. If you have a California bike there is only a slight difference and that has to do with the emissions and the return line to from the evaporator tank. Those two breather tube work in the exact opposite of what you described. They are crucial to equalizing the forced airpressure and the pressure in the bowels of the carbs. Meaning as you go faster the ramair going into the trottlebody is increasing. So must the pressure in the bowls of the carb. Hence, thetwo breather tubes which go into the air solenoid then the bowls in the carbs. Do you have a manual? You can find a downloadable one on the site. Look up D.A.I. or direct air intake. Oh yeah, make sure that those two hoses are in the path of ram air and faced forward. Don't forget to check the air filters inline in the D.A.I. too.They have been known to cause the same problem. Keep me updated please.

long story short, I was on my last leg with this bike. I’ve rebuilt everything twice at this point and could not find the solution to the problem. I finally read this and was about to start a tear down again of the carbs to try and fix it. I put this hose back on, I don’t know why it was off, and it revved up through third which I haven’t heard in so long. Thank you thank you thank you. If you ever see this, just know that I cracked open a 6 pack after the ride. Cheers and thank you again! Ride safe!
