Default Starts puttering, need help.

In the last week my 08 train will drop the rpm to a putter then turn off when I ease off the throttle , I have to keep the rev up while shifting. Pucker factor kicks in while splitting lanes on so cal freeways and she decides to turn off.

On the flip side the other night my gauges lights start flicking on an off and the rev stayed high. He rpm wouldnt come down it wasn't super high but enough to buck while shifting gears.

My local shop said its prob a 30$ fuel to air sensor regarding the rpm.

Any ideas?

your not getting any codes. Mine did that when the throttle position sensor went out.
Got any better pics of your bike to post. What rotors you running?

My shop checked the codes and thought it was a the voltage regulator and the air to fuel sensor so i installed new ones yesterday. Today i went for a ride, same problems the check engine light, 6th gear indicating light and in instument panel light keep turning on/off. when stopping at lights, slow shifting, anytime the rpm drops the bike wants to turn off.

The codes it's displaying are
B0563 Battery Voltage High TSM/TSSM
B1006 Accessory Line Overvoltage Instruments
B1007 Ignition Line Overvoltage Instruments
Someone mentioned I might have to get a new ecm?

The only electronic mods I'ver done are the LED rear signals, no front signals, and the shotgun air susp.

The rotors I got as a package deal 3 years ago with the rims and tires I dont remember the brand.
