This would happen to me too on my '89 900TC, and I found that sometimes oil would build up around the rubber, making it slippery and thus poping off during acceleration. I have replaced the intake hose and it hasn't happened since. The worst time it happened to me, I was when I was getting on the highway on a left lane onramp, I stepped on gas, and poof! It stalled. I had to make it over 3 lanes at rush hour with the top up (so visibility was low). To top it off, a motorcycle was flying up the right lane at about 100 MPH, and when I pulled in front of him to get into the shoulder (this is about when I noticed him), he left about 30 ft. of skid marks. We shook on it and he was ok though--feeling a little stupid I think. So, yeah, its annoying and dangerous. Try just replacing the intake with a fresh new hose.
