Lightbulb Bandit 1200S Flat Spot

I've got a 2001200S that I purchased from the orig. owner. The bike has 4400mi. on it and is beautiful. It has a bad flat spot between 3500-4500 rpm's. I've taken it to 2 dealers I've had the carbs ultrasonically cleaned,synced and the problem continues. The last shop said it was prob. something in the emissions system(Ca.model) and it would take 20 hrs. of labor just to diagnose it. Any one have any similar problems?
