More "is it normal?" On my '78 750k

Long story short, if I pin it real fast from idle, I can make it stall. Is it normal?

Revving smoothly, as you would actually riding it not like a ham fisted ogre, works beautifully, and once it's off idle a tad it works perfect.

After warming it up some more, it no longer dies. But bogs when you do that snap.

If every thing is stock no it is not normal if bike is at full temp. That is what your accelerator pump is for. Did this just start to happen? Do you have your pump set up correctly? Need to know more about what you have done with your 3K tune up and how you set up your carbs. This could be a slow jet or fuel level or float height issue. Maybe some more will chime in.

Bike might've not been 100% at full temp. Idling for maybe 3 minutes. Also realized I'd forgotten to tighten the airbox bands.
