Default I need some help guys
Bike has been running fine until about two days ago. At a stop light she revs high like 1300 RPM's from time to time and goes back to normal. When I crank the accelerator she wants to die. One morning I cranked the accelerator and she cut off on me and was a b*tch to start again. Any ideas?

codes?
Crankshaft position sensor?
Air temp sensor?
How about a good intake cleaning.

Air geting in behind the throttle body? -check it's torqued down properly, and inspect the gasket.

That's my guess too. Sounds like a vacuum or intake leak

While you're in that area you might as well clean the IAC.

+1 on cleaning the IAC, sounds just like what mine was doing and this fixed her up

See what code it is throwing first then go from there. If you don't know how to check trouble codes google it.
