Get rid of those tires!

Letting around 3 psi out of the tires won't hurt them and in fact helps with traction on the track. Softer equals more contact patch plus quicker heat in them. Since this only happened under heavy acceleration, sounds like the shock was a little stiff. sounds like the suspension was not allowing your bike to maintain 40/60 frt/rear weight transfer and the rear was skipping. How rough was the corner and did changing your line help any??
Something else to think about, were you weighing the inside or outside peg??? Lots of times when you get a "wobble" out of a turn heavy on the gas, weighing the outside peg will ease it alot. Just my .02 on it
