Has the bike been sitting for some time? Sounds like a classic case of gummed up low speed jets in the carbs. Pull the carbs and clean then out.

Gsxr cuts out

replace the fuel pump or adjust the TPS. It doesnt do it in nuetral its because it is not under a load. Put in dealer mode to check the TPS. It should read -COO... If the - is not in the middle (if its up top or on bottom) it needs to be adjusted.

Kazuma 500 running problem

Look for air leaks on the inlet manifold/carb plate. If any air can leak in here, the motor runs lean and rough. Since you replaced the carby, double check the rubber parts for leaks (may not be obvious off the bike so stretch it a bit) and make sure the gasket to the engine is OK (some bikes use o-rings which shrink over time). Next time you run it, when it starts acting up, reach down and pull/push the carby towards the engine. ANY change in revs or running indicates a leak.

'97 540i spluttering & cutting out

best bet is to go get any codes that may be stored in the PCM. This will take alot of the guess work out of diagnosing it. Or remove the spark plgs and replace them.. If you have 50,000 or more this could be the cause but a code may tell you which one is the issue

When im riding and i shift into second and get it reving up high getting ready to shift to third i'll pull the clutch in but the engine does rev back down it keeps the high revs for like 4 seconds then...

Check that there is some free play in the throttle. When you twist the grip the first bit of movement should only be taking the slack out of the cable, in other words, you need about 1/16th of a turn of the grip before the throttle is actuated.
Also make sure the cable is routed properly - and check for any air leakage between the carburetor and the engine. With the engine running, if you spray WD-40 around the inlet manifold and it causes the idle speed to change, then there's an air leak.
