Check the air intake sensor under in front of the "snorkel". If unplugged or broken you will get the same symtons

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle

Usually the sensor shakes loose from the air intake and the little clips break. On my Dakar I kept in place with a piece of wire and some duct tape for more than 20 000 km until I sold it.

Work hard; play hard; never play when you work!

It could possibly be your air sensor.Otherwise its dirt in your idle actuator(solenoid) on the throttle body or the trottle stop screw should be set.Any of these three is probably the fault. 

After you clean out the idle actuator the idling needs to be reset with diagnostics.

Let me know if i can help you with any of these problems.
