On mine acceleration wasn't the problem, steady-state throttle was. It surged slightly between 2500-3500 RPM when cruising around town or on the backroads. I never noticed anything at highway speed.

Acceleration was never an issue on my bike. Very small throttle openings (2k - 3k RPM) with light loads and my bike would gently misfire. You had to listen carefully for it, but it was definitely there. Going from stoplight to stoplight in traffic (very slow speeds) was annoying, as was traveling at parking lot speeds. Also, when riding on back roads when the RPM dropped below 3k in the corners it would not run cleanly (again, mildly misfiring) as you gently rolled the throttle on, and then it would suddenly clean-up and pull cleanly as the RPM increased above 3k. My bike has never run so good as it does now, after performing this simple fix.
