What diagnosis led you to replace the throttle body? Did the bike throw any codes?

Yeah throttle sensor codes on my bike is all one piece in the throttle body so now I'm just going through checking for loose connections and bad wires

Sensor

I had the same issue. It was the TPS. Throttle position sensor runs from grip down through handle bars.

The twist grip sensor is in the handle bar, aka the tgs, the throttle position sensor, aka the tps, is on the throttle body. Try cleaning the pins in the plug on the throttle body right behind the air cleaner. While doing that check for a broken wire within a few inches from the plug.
