Welcome to the forums, Cobb! I think your PCV valve is stuck open.
Seriously, do you have some kind of crankcase breather tube or something that is causing back pressure into your intake? I'm no expert on the vulcan setup.
Glad to have you aboard. Someone will assist you shortly.....
Gear up; stay safe.

air suction valve and air switching valve checks?

What is the maintenance schedule on your VN?
