It won't shutter/pop at anything slower than 60MPH
it seems very strange that it never happens below 60mph. as you say, it looks like its not related to engine speed. could there be something that happens to your ride only over 60mph? by this i mean some kind of wheel speed related vibration which then causes some other prob with the carb? prehaps wheel bearing or something? i know most fuel bowls really dont like been shaken around too much (even if its only a small high frequency vibration that aint that noticeable)
prehaps the increased air pressure/ram effect through the grill at speeds over 60mph (and prehaps therefore the airpressure into the airfilter/carb) can cause probs with the carb operation when the secondaries are opened?
i'll be quiet now and crawl back into my beginners box
