Error code 48 Idle Control Motor

Hey everyone, I’ve been chasing an issue on my 2012 fz8 talked to two different mechanics and no one can figure it out. Bike idles and starts fine no miss fire or anything but bike will not go over 70 mph like it’s in a limp mode. In other words my idle control motor isn’t opening the secondary plates like it should. I’ve replaced both tps sensors and checked wiring everything is in good condition but I cannot find that part anywhere or a resolution to fix this. Any help is appreciated!
 
The only way to fix this is to replace the throttle body because you cant get just the motor. I have had good luck buying used throttle bodies on ebay and building one that works. good luck.
