Sort of not related but,
Had this sort of fault on an old Camry once, turned out that it was oil in the distributor cap. On slow acclerations and when it was cold it was fine (thick oil) but when warm and under hard acceleration the car would kangaroo all over the show. (oil was making contact with the terminals in the dizzy cap when the oil swished backwards.
This is also a classic fault that Manufacturers use when training technicians, by placing a mecury switch in a main electrical circuit.
When you accellerate hard, mercury moves and breaks the circuit, slow down, and all good.
From my experience, I would be seriously checking electrical connections on all plugs and terminals, especially those that don't appear to be all that securely mounted. As the extreme movement caused by heavy accelleration is most definately able to open circuit a poor terminal connection.
Check the whole wiring harness for the bike, pulling apart all the plugs if you can, checking that when you refit the mulitplugs all the terminals remain in their respective positions, and don't "back out" of the terminal block.
