Everyone should check the plug wires, the routing puts the front cylinder plug wire against the fuel tank and the wire gets rubbed enough that over time the voltage shorts to the fuel tank and will cause a misfire.
Mine were replace awhile back under warranty, I have shown many riders that the wire is rubbing on the tank.
All that needs to be done to correct or prevent this condition is to push the plug end over enough to bend the connector to clear the tank.

I put some of that black plastic spiral wire protector over my wires.  I do agree plugs etc. can cause stumbling or lack of power on acceleration but this is happening only on a hard lean?  I guess maybe the lean could cause the wire to shift slightly to expose more damaged area.  Worth checking it out closely.
