GL1500 hesitation when accelerating, all gears

Hi,

I do have off-idle hesitation problem, but also hesitation in higher speeds. Actually, when ever I try to accelerate fast, there's a little time before anything happens and there is noticeable hesitation.
But, if I accelerate heavy, 1st of 2nd gear and continue accelerating through gears (to high rev) there's no hesitation. And I think, that I have mileage ok and after all as much power as there should be.

I read a post about vacuum error, not leak but there is a hose that goes "stuck", I mean that there is actually loss of vacuum. Just can't find it now.

If I release throttle a bit, hesitation isn't that noticeable.

I clear this out more, if I try to overtake a car, I'll have to throttle very gently at beginning, wait a while when the acceleration begins and then twist more.

Suggestions where to begin? Is it very hard to replace all vacuum lines?

Bike is -88 and has now 200k kilometeris in it, so I'm wondering if to leave like it is and ride peacefully, or try to fix this.

Use the forum search on 88 hesitation. There are many posts on it. If the bikes have not sat for extended time, then they probably will need to open then up and see which jets are in them.
