2023 9R shuts down after a few seconds of high idle

I have 90 miles on my new 9R. It's been running great for 3 rides. No issues at all. Today it takes 3-4 pulls to start (it sputters and died right away on the first few pulls), and when it does start it goes into high idle at 2400-2500 RPM for a random amount of time before sputtering out. I can sometimes give it throttle up to 4000 RPM before it dies. I changed the spark plugs, checked the electrical connections, and no luck.

Any suggestion or what else to try or check? I'm taking it to the dealer on Friday but would be great to get it figured out without the drive.

Stupid question but Im assuming your throttle cable isn't too tight, frozen up, or kinked? This almost sounds like a TPS or TSS issue.
 
Turns out it was bad gas from the local gas station here. Theory is that water leaked into their tank. It happened to one other sled as well. Drained and refilled and it’s fine now.
what gas station was it? A buddy's boost was doing something similar last week here in tahoe. I thought it might have been bad gas too.
