bare with me.. just started having this problem today took my bike to a spot didnt drop it once but randomly started running like shit and died on me a few times. sometimes when its stuttering the fi will come on And if i dont bump the gas it usually dies and the fi light will stay solid. it seems like if my idle is above 6rpm it runs pretty smooth but if i take a sharp turn it starts studdering and 9 times outa 10 if i do a stoppie itll die when im up.. i thought maybe my tip sensor was messed up so i bypassed it but it has the same problem.
Any suggestion???

Had a similar issue and it turned out to be loose battery terminals haha. it's a long shot, but an easy check.

Sounds like some electrical issue as described above, check your wiring for some open or damaged wires.
Then try running stock idle of about 15-1700rpm see what happens, also u can pull the fi codes and that may help narrow your search.

wires look okay, battery terminals are tight, plugs look okay, cleaned the throttle body, the only thing i can think of is water in the tank. i drained the gas gunna try putting new gas in. any recommended injector cleaner i can throw in?
