Well, here's an alternative not-quite-by-the rules-that-were-described-but-that-has-never-stopped-me-before answer ...

Actually what you are describing is quite common to many bikes, and it's usually associated with cruising at a throttle opening and rev range that is just 'below' a lean portion of the engine's setup - so - when you open the throttle, the mixture goes lean and the engine stumbles. On a carbed bike you might raise the needle, on an injected bike you need to go see Sigma
