I changed the plugs, caps, and balanced the carbs. Made no difference. Mine turned out to be the TPS which was miles out! Took her for a short blast after doing all that, and the stuttering has now gone.
Never had to adjust a TPS before in the 4 fazers and 100k+ miles I've done on them!!!
Every days a school day!!
I know the exact noises and feeling my bike makes when the TPS is wrong now, it will be worth you checking it more often as if it was that ropey it could be a sign that it's slowly breaking down.
They don't tend to just stop working, they misbehave, the bike will feel a bit jerky and either the RPM needle will move about much more often or it will remain fixed on 0rpm or 10,000rpm.
If you ever think it's finally pegged out, just buy a new one, don't buy a 13+ year old used one as it'll just happen again eventually.
