Your bike has an idle speed control actuator , on the tb , #16 , check the connector / connections , it may need a good cleaning with some tb cleaner , or replacement . Clean the tb as well , butterfly and seat , a tooth brush does a pretty good job of that .

While your at it , check the tb seals for leaks , spray a bit of tb cleaner on them while idling , if the rpm changes , you have a leak .

It wouldn't hurt to run some seafoam through the tank , 1 ounce per gal , injectors may be plugged , might take awhile for them to clear , worth a shot before you replace them , if you have to .
How's the air cleaner , nice and clean , could be starving for air when you throttle up .

[QUOTE=MyFavRk;19914331]First I would check the bike for error codes....

More detail is needed , what do you mean by cutting out ? Check for error codes , might lead you in the right direction . At this point , it could be a number of things .[/QUOTE

Starting point ^^^^^^^^^
Crank Position Sensor bad? Again, access your Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

Oh and I had just purchased a bottle of sea foam yesterday so I could run it through the injectors and fuel system. Least I was thinking on the same track as you, I feel better about that 😝

Yup , you nailed it , throttle body .. Let us know how you made out .

Now that you have it idling well , concentrate on getting the tb clean and flushing the injectors , and check the air cleaner .

You can also check the connectors under the front of the frame , where your oil filter is . The crank sensor , stator connector usually get covered with oil , so unplugging them and spraying them down with electrical contact cleaner would be a good idea . As well as anything else that may have corrosion built up on , fuses , battery cables , connectors etc .

Yes agreed , like Mr.Mike stated , check the bike for error codes . Pull your crank sensor and check the surface , then give it a good cleaning .

Quick update as far as error codes go. System showed all 10 stages clear no diagnostic codes reading. Then last 2 show PPU and then the last one reads a number 82883. So no help there😩

No error codes is a good thing , however , I have seen bad crank sensors that didn't throw a code , I would just pull it , clean it off and clean the connector as well , then see how it runs , if better , change it out .

Still concentrate on cleaning the tb , butterfly and seat , air cleaner and connectors . Run some seafoam through it as well , 1 ounce / gal , could be plugged injectors .

Well Ive been busy as h377 and hadn’t had much time for it but i finally got a little and this is where I’m at....... so i cleaned the tb, butterfly n seat, air cleaner, crank sensor, and trying to run sea foam through system lol i replaced fuel pump and filter. Put everything back together and bike fired right up hadn’t ran for a few weeks so thought it was gonnna be cold blooded anyway but after idling awhile i took off around the block, bikes spit n sputtered even back fired real loud when i took off was still not getting enough fuel not just cold blooded. Came to stop at stop sign and bike died and would not start. Pushed it about 6 blocks home so you can imagine how i was feeling lol Couiple days ago i get some time to check it out and it starts right up and idles no problem however if i give it any touch of throttle from minimal being just touching it to full and anywhere in between and the bikes dies immediately. Have not a clue as to why. I’m waiting on new fuel and check valve lines for inside the tank and a new throttle position sensor. No idea if these are bad but trying any and everything now from cheapest to most expensive. Any ideas?
