Matz is on a distinguished road
XT660R dangerously cutting out.

Hi guys I'm having a bit of problem.
Just bought a 2006 XT660R with 2000 miles on the clock.
I rode it home and with 2 miles cut out on me locking the back wheel (briefly as if I'd aggressively down shifted), I pulled into the side of the road and restarted the bike without any problems and set off again, same thing happened. After about repeating this two more times, the bike will only tick over for about 10 seconds before cutting out again.
I had a look at my ECU and it's the 00 one with no white dot (so it hasn't been changed) I've heard there was a recall for this but as the bike isn't under warranty, I'm looking at an extortionate amount to upgrade it myself.
Could anyone tell me how else I could sort this problem?
Will the Kev mod that I keep hearing about, sort this out (bearing in mind it cuts out at any revs, not just at idle)
Will a power commander sort this out too?
Heard some mentioning of the TPS also being recalled?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, this bike is literally unrideable and it's nearly caused a crash already!
