Hey new guy here, I've recently purchased my first bike and it happened to be a CVO. Bike has 82xxx on it with the motor being rebuilt at 55xxx fully upgraded to a stage 4. I bought the bike last week and have noticed some very odd and kinda discouraging things about it. It has a hard time starting while cold and if it's warm it's about a 50/50 shot it will fire. Also at stops it will die on me. I can crack the throttle to keep it running but won't idle. I've changed out the crank sensor (had a code for it) and also swapped tps sensors with known good. It seems to also be running very rich. Over all I love the bike but those couple things. If you have any ideas before I take it in that would be awesome!

it could be so many things on a high mileage bike. If it was me, Id start with the fuel delivery system starting with the tank innards.
