you ask if you can change the throttle positioning sensor, the answer is yes.
The sensor is right behind you air breather on the left side, this part is slotted so when you take it off be sure you get it in the same spot, also the screws heads are filled with an epoxy ( I assume they do this so people just don't start adjusting things) so you will need a small set of vice grips to remove the screws (this description in actually in the manual).
The part is $39 and comes with new screws.
I put mine on and it started right up and ran perfectly.
good luck

Just an added question on this topic as mine is doing the same thing. It only seems to do it after it's warmed up. It seems the longer I ride it, the worse it gets.
Could that be a symptom of the Throttle Position Sensor being bad too?

So unless the TPS is actually bad, a gummed up throttle body/TPS/Air cleaner isn't the issue.
But thank you for taking the time to throw that idea out there.

Newest update:
Last night I put in a new Throttle Position Sensor. It ran fine for the 15 miles to work, but until I've burned up this 3/4 tank of gas and it hasn't done it, I won't consider it fixed. I think it's just trying to lure me into a false sense of security.
If this doesn't fix it, the next part I go after is the MAP sensor...according to the dealer, that is a fairly common replaced item after 50k.
