PROBLEM FIXED/FOUND!!!!!!!

So the idle was too low and the tune was corrupt/lean. I think what happened was that when I unplugged the ECU it corrupted the tune. Then when I went to do the TPS reset I did it wrong by zeroing it at a tighter setting each time if that makes sense. In other words the idle screw is as tight as possible and it still idles around 900rpm. (Let me know if you have the EXACT procedure to undo this). Anyway I had to max out the idol screw at 900rpm and then go into the tune and richen the heck out of it at lower TPS and RPM levels until it held a steady idol. Bike still isn't perfect and chokes at some points, but its rideable and doesn't die in idol. Just glad I found the source of the original issue and now I have a clear path to perfecting how it runs. Thank you everyone for the help! Hope this helps out someone else in the future.
 
I didnt say anything about how the bike looked. I was referring to the late model crank in the early model bike.

In order to replace the crank, the bike and motor pretty much has to come completely apart. The frame gets removed from the motor and the motor gets fully disassembled. So, at one time someone took the bike completely apart and put it back together.

I'm not about to go into all of the "stuff he shouldnt have done that way".
 
Alright I'm back. Unfortunately. I only just put a bandaid on some symptoms of how the bike was running, but didn't fix the root issue. I apologize for getting overexcited on what I thought was the actual fixing of the bike (fuel map and idle). I took the bike for a test run and it started gurgling again pretty bad to the point where it was unrideable. Check engine light came on. I checked the code being sent. Error code 25 for coil 1. Thinking ignition coil. Pulled ignition coil out of bike. Giant crack in ceramic surface of coil and its giving .3 and .7 ohms resistance. Is this enough evidence to say this is the final conclusion of what is wrong with my bike and order a $100 part? Let me know. Picture below.
