Default Re: Bike cuts out after revving

Picked up bike, it seemed to run fine. They went through a few things, but settled on cleaning out injectors, which had accumulated a significant amount of black stuff, and werent operating right. Would spray way too much fuel (could even smell it when riding).

Riding it normally, gives a fun melody of decel pops, but this time it did "backfire" pretty loudly once, which got me worried. That would previously happen just before the engine would cut out.

For about an hour, I was riding without further issues.

Then I pulled over for a bit, paused for a few hours, and set off again, and this time it cut out twice, just as before. I turned off engine, paused for a few minutes, and set off again, giving it as much throttle as I could. It went fine.

Called mechanic and the recommendation is to replace throttle bodies. I suggested battery change (thanks to Bibio's suggestion), and was told its not needed. But i feel Bibio may be right. Time to order a set of throttle bodies and a decent battery.
