Throttle position sensor on my R6 help about wrecked in wheelie

Ive had my bike since this past summer and i pulled out of a parking lot & my bike died in 1st gear with power still on and started it back up & it died about 10 seconds later down the road. Started it back up and drove fine the rest of the way back until I popped a wheelie and died when it hit balance point thankfully was a sit down.

Well next day before we road I started it and drove it around, no lights, low gas light etc came on. Tried to bog the bike down going in higher gears, tried everything and the bike seemed normal. . .

OK so we get out on the highway and I bring the bike up in a stand up & slowly bring it past balance point cruising at 40mph for about 5 seconds & the bike shuts off on me and I about went over the handlebars. Start the bike back up and try a sit down & it shut off and bogged down little past balance point like it wasn't getting any gas or somthing as I gave it throttle. Started back up after a second and drove it forever, floored it from 2nd - 4th everything was fine. We road for hours all over the place everything was perfectly fine.

A buddy of mine thinks it could be the TPS, I drive a 04 R6 and I guess there was a recall on them. It could be that or somthing little as my air filter is filthy, but my injectors, fuel pump & battery/power is all fine cleary since it only happens in a slow high wheelie. I checked my gas & oil, everythings in the green.

I don't know for sure if its the TPS, but from doing some research it sounds like it only effects my bike at standstill or low speeds, but had no problems unless i was in a high wheelie.

EDIT: I serously dout its my tip sensor or kickstand sensor thing but I just don't know

Any input on this would be greatly appreacited thanks
