Dunno if that bike has an auto choke cause its FI.. but I had my choke stick after a crash once. I didnt notice till I started messing with the idle, for a whole day my idle was SO irratic that I thought my carbs were to blame. We have basically the same motor, but you have FI so this may not apply.

your in luck i may have the solution.......... i think its your regulator rectifier.........located on the left tail side of your bike.......... my idle was fluxating like crazy and then i crashed and my bike never started until i changed my regulator rectifier....... does your battery seem weak? mines was .

Re: y is my f4i spuddering, shutting off?
another thing that just came to mind is...
it wasnt just like stalling shutting off, i notice lights on tach were dimming out...
so it wasnt just shutting off power, liek lights etc surging...
ne more suggestions?

Pay someone to work on your bike you foo. Everytime you take it apart, it never runs. I had to fix it the last time........... maybe you need spark plugs 
man what a waste for my 1000th post.
