I have done a little searching but as I am new to the bike I wanted actual input on my problem.
When at idle bike will die occasionally. It sounds like it is searching a lot. And under side open throttle it just decides to lag feels like it might be flooding. Anything in the lower rpms feels as if it has very little power. There is a lot of popping under accel and decel.
I think it has a race map on it. Mods that I'm aware of are exhaust valve removed and air box drilled I think.
 
I believe the lag was due to low fuel in the tank filled her up and that was fixed . The only downside of the low rpm popping is during a low speed turn I'm afraid the bike will lose too much power and low side.
 
Maybe your idle is set a little low (i like mine at 1000rpm @ idle)or sparkplugs fouled. popping on a fast decel is kinda a buell thing, ive never had it pop on accel. are you running stock exhaust? since you have a race ecm an open airbox you should be running an aftermarket exhaust.
 
Idle should be set to 1050 rpm after a TPS reset.

If you can hookup to ecmspy tell us what the afv is.
 
Afv was 100 last night. Today I reflashed the stock fuel map and it runs so much better now although it has massive popping on decel. I did the tips reset yesterday and that is good now too. I guess I have a lot to teach myself about the fuel maps
