My 14 did that several times at wot almost threw me over the bars. Once at 116 mph. Ulmer has had the sled for 3 years now so I have not run it to see if it still does it.
Try playing with kill switch also.

Adjust throttle cable freeplay, TORS is probably acting up

That is exactly what my sled used to do; if I remember correctly the dealer said there was some "hard" grease in the throttle, and after they cleaned it, it never did it again. Apparently it effected the operation of the throttle's "kill switch".

Mine did the exact same thing. Everything looked fine in Diagnostic mode too. I moved the throttle cable around near the zip tie and it went away. I think that zip tie was the problem so i put a new one on with a lot more slack. Its been fine for the last 1000 miles .

2019 sidewinder xtx le, sleeping for now
Mines been stalling when i coast to a stop, and it just started this season after my turbo install, also noticed a touchy throttle and a little bit higher idle.
Diagnostic's and tors is where it should be, ill try checking the throttle cable routing.

Hi. I'm Sydney's dad
And we purchased this sled from you this weekend. You said good running condition. ( friday 3- 9-18) on this day she had issues with it stalling. 6 or so times. On Sat. It would not start. We asked you then if you have had issues. You said
NO. My brother eventually got it to run that day. On Sunday it would not start again. I see here that there have been issues. What gives.. Be honest. Waiting a reply on this.
