Troubles and havent even had first ride

The first thing I would look to is to ensure that the MAP sensor hoses are properly connected, that they are not cracked or perished or trapped somewhere
Also ensure there are no open ports causing air leak into the plenum

You also want to be sure the TPS is calibrated: the throttles need to be completely closed to check the voltage initially
There is a utility in TuneECU you can use
Here is an excellent guide -
The hardware is different as that was written specifically for the 1050 engines;
however the process is essentially the same.

You probably should not have to adjust the ISCV itself unless someone has messed with it.
I would leave that alone till you make further progress
However follow the initial part to check the TPS voltage.
Hi DEcosse yeah i seen the guide you posted thankyou, the other stuff i am writing down for trouble shooting. alot of stuff people have suggested i have looked at already but people bringing it up is helping me by confirming that i was looking in the right area. i do have the old tps on it as mentioned in previous replies as well, i am really keen to pin point the problem (no open ports causing air leak into the plenum) i need to look this up as i am unaware what this means. my brother and i where trying to work out how it could be air but where stumped. back to the manuel. it looks like a library in my house as i have printed so many things. :)
 
...i brought the bike back home and the bike started but would not idle and stall straight away. it would rev up as long as i was continuosly reving the motor but would stall when it wasnt reved ...

Can you expand on this just a little?
When you open the throttle and it runs at a higher rpm, does it seem smooth, all three cylinders seem like they're firing?
But just stalls out as you close the throttle?
Or is it 'lumpy' when trying to run at that higher engine speed?
If it is NOT smooth, can you tell if all three cylinders are firing? (check exhaust temp before it gets too hot)
i.e. is just one cylinder not running clean (or at all!) or are all three equally rough?

I would imagine you're not running it too long, if it's stalling out with closed throttle - but what happens if you let it come up to normal operating temperature?
Same thing or ?????

Run it with TuneECU connected at the minimum rpm it will run without stalling, ideally if you can get it up to temperature;
look at the 'tests' screen and see if there is any major difference on the three MAP sensor dials*; That will give you indication of whether you have any air leaks in that respect.
Then, go back to the Diagnostic screen, expand all the tabs on the left and take a screen shot (ALT + PRNT SCRN & paste in an image editor & save the image)
Post the screen-shot here.

* the way the MAP sensor display works is that there is actually only a single MAP sensor; but is 'quick' enough to see the difference for each cylinder and the display for each cylinder is 'timed' against the engine so each 'gauge' shows the pressure for the appropriate cylinder.

Other things to check:
you mentioned swapping the pump and the fuel pressure regulator; normally that would eliminate any concerns in that regard, but to be 100% ideally you measure the fuel pressure.

I didn't see you mention air filter - this one is a reach, but is far from uncommon - mice like to build nests in airboxes (seriously!) - if you haven't checked in there, take a look and ensure that is OK.

TPS - this one is simple to check on TuneECU: just look at the dial on the diagnostic screen and run the Throttle slowly from closed to open (ignition only, not running);
Note that the dial indication does not display % of open, it displays % of the max voltage; so it will NOT read 100% at full throttle!
It should track smoothly across its range.
If you want to see how it actually relates to throttle opening, go to the MAPEDIT screen and select one of the 'F' tables; Look to the TPS axis and you will see the position highlighted on the axis; now it should go all the way to 100% on that axis as you open the throttle.

Hi DEcosse

there is no idle at all basically it is trying to stall when reving it even when revs are up, if i am not moving the throttle fast enough it stalls like its starving. i havent changed any air filter or looked there because i knew the fuel was off. when we first picked up the bike. the owner had a car mechanic trying to start the bike and it wouldnt fire up it was trying to start. we got it home and it wouldnt even try to start up. we washed the tank with premium fuel andchanged the fuel pump, fuel filter and regualator. but it wouldnt even start it would just click. after the dealerships they put a new battery in it and said the new battery we put in it was stuffed. the bike started normally but would stall as soon as it fired up unless i was reving the throttle but even then it is trying to stall.

I never knew there was a shut off for the fuel I must have gotten robbed on my 07
 
Hi yep spoke to Neville Lush he was brilliant on the phone he is just a little too far for me to get the work done at the moment but in the future i will check him out. Paul Illingworth is closest to me and he was really helpful havent seen his work yet but lots of people have recommended him.

G'day Karl and Welcome... Mate proximity seems a strange way to select who is going to fix your bike .. especially when you live with-in driving distance of Lushy. Just my thoughts of course.

Hi TOMCAT its a big difference in distance, getting the bike to Lushy and then getting back up there to pick it up, its an 1.5 hours away from me. it will cost me around 200 bucks extra at this point with fuel and trailer hire. i have got huge respect for both guys just because of my conversations with them on the phone, recomendations by others. :)
 
persevere, there's light at the end of this tunnel..you're getting closer.
thanks budman i am, at least through this expereince i am getting to know my bike more and more which is what i wanted anyway. i supose if i rode it straightaway i would still be out riding and not looking at the manuel and getting great help on forums. :)
