Default something buggin me about fuel probs

One week ago bike shut down. Obvious fuel prob.
Indie puts on fuel pump. Then notices the problem with busted part in the throttle body..
Sent it off fit warranty..

Many months ago the bike could tear off the tires at any gear..
That suddenly stopped and there was decell popping..and mpg went to crap hard.

It was such a performer that except for the popping, indie didn't have prob
with how it ran, but I for sure know.

Indie couldn't really find anything wrong..

Fine, I bought Thundermax , 1000$, and things were looking up..
Still I just don't think it was the screamer from former times..

How likely is it that the throttle body was the culprit this whole time?
Maybe busted just not completely busted in pieces like now?

How likely is it that I didn't need a fuel pump either?

They checked pressure, but still
