Not trying to be a jerk but, are you that dead set on using that amp? You said it worked fine before but not now. Does not sound like its worth the time and aggravation. Just buy something new and better.
AND, I think you said you haven't had it on the road yet. Why you reving your bike in the garage? LoL

I had a different amp on the bike that i didnt have an issue with. The new amp im trying to run is a much better amp. I paid a hundred bucks for it and it sounds great....so yeah i would prefer to use it....assuming the issue is elsewhere.ive had the bike on the road. Just not with the stereo working....because when i throttle the bike the speakers cut out!

All you can do is try the inline capacitor bro. But you would save yourself some time and money if you switched out the amp. Still troubleshooting after 4 days is not good. I would get the stinger amp and call it good.
