Hey guys,looking for a little guidance.I've got an 02 viper with 2300 miles on it bone stock.It's always ran great,I've always cleaned and adjusted the powervalves and clutches, and all of the sudden once in a while at around 95 mph it loses power and has a bog.It only seems to happen on a long stretch when running wide open for a few minutes,if I burp the throttle it seems to help it out, but it has me very nervous,never acted like this before.Any Ideas?

could be running too rich on top end after it heats up.

What should I adjust to check? I've never had a problem in three years and all settings are the same.
Sound like its leaning out. Was it very cold out? I had a V-max that did the same thing. I just jetted up 2 sizes and the bog was gone. I was very lucky it didn't melt a piston.

I read a post on here where someone had a broken reed acting similar,anyone think that could be the case?Just thinking too much maybe.
