Can anyone give me any hints as to what the problem could be? Bike was running near perfect one day, and two days later, I get this (youtube link at the bottom of this post). It turns over, so not an electrical problem I would say. It seems to "start up" but if I pin the throttle, all I get is this loud thumping response. When I let the throttle go, it dies.

Recent changes:
new TPS fitted
new/used exup valve fitted (perhaps siezed exup valve?)

I'm not the MOST mechanically minded, but I can wrench a bit. I'm in the CBD if anyone can help or suggest potential causes/solutions, would be greatly appreciated!!!

I would start with checking the HT leads and spark plugs...

Have you set up the TPS as per the manual? If not that would be your first step........
