    I had a weak ignition causing the same thing at 6k rpm but it didn't improve any when I messed with the carbs.

    The Clymer's manual lists tests for the trigger & the ignitor - they are fairly simple to do but you do have to tape some wires to a AA battery & use it to test one of them from memory... (unless you have a better multimeter than me..). It's most likely to be the box not the trigger. Cure is to fit a DYNA S ($120 at Z1)

    Your bike isn't stock - you have a free flowing filter - aftermarket Jets (from KL no doubt.. you might want to think about getting real Mikuni ones if so or even getting the 2.5 stage higher set to compensate for the K&N) & leaking airbox!

    What exhaust are you running? Stock? Is it well sealed too?
