When it does this is your tank full or below half? At Sturgis last year a friends bike was acting funny but when he filled up it ran great again. Below half tank it got crappy. He thought it was fuel but finally found a mechanic with some experience and found the fuel injection lines inside the tank had pin holes in them. When he got below a half tank he was sucking air and really confusing the FI.! If your problem goes away with a full tank then check your fuel lines in the tank.

Yes you can have electrical problems with this thing specially with a MC.
I got to thinking why auto have very little trouble with this IAC.
I figure cause it is so far away from the actually fuel delivery. Depending on system it cam be over 12-18 inches.
HD are 2-3 inches.
Mine was stuck with stuff, I figured vaporized from around the valves.
And this gas is full of ethynol also and has potential with some systems to do damage.
