If your at W.O.T. doing fine and you just let off the throttle a hair and the bike takes off, what's the drug for this?

From Mikuni Carb Tuning Manual :
Open the throttle fully and let the
engine pull for several seconds.
Then, quickly close the throttle to
about the 7/8ths position.
If the engine seems to gain power,
the main jet is too small (lean). Fit a
larger jet.
If the engine hesitates as the
throttle is rolled off, the main jet is
too large. Fit a smaller one.

POOR FULL THROTTLE PERFORMANCE:
(Detonation, flat acceleration,
misfiring.)
Possible causes:
1. One-way tank vents may fail to
allow enough air into the tank to
replace fuel flow at high throttle
openings. The result is a partial
vacuum and fuel starvation.
2. A clogged fuel filter or petcock
screen can result in fuel starvation.
3. A too large or too small main jet
can lead to poor power output.
4. A partially clogged main jet may
allow enough fuel flow for part
throttle operation and yet starve the
engine at full throttle.
5. Air filters can become dirty enough
to restrict air flow and power output.
This is more likely to be a problem
with the stock filter than aftermarket
filters.

I did the opposite. I got that power surge when I backed off from WOT, and went down from 130 to 125 mains. Cured it, haven't checked my plugs yet.

What they said. Also, if it just happens well below redline, the slide spring could be a little soft. If it happens near redline, the carbs may be a little too big.

The key here was "hold W.O.T. for several seconds".
At first it was a second or two. After the several, there is no change she's just a goin'.
Thx Y'all
