Thanks for the help all. I put on 50 miles on a very windy day. Not one hesitation. It was definitely the carb or crankcase breather hoses, probably the carb breather hoses based on the fact that Yamaha put wind deflectors on the stays. Steve called it.

I put the bike back together while I wait for parts. I made sure I got the crankcase breather hooked up well. Also, there is a cover in the bottom of the air box where the crankcase breather distributes to each stack. I was missing the center screw there, so replaced it. And I ran the carb...
