Default Engine cutting off at idle

Guys, I would appreciate any help to a problem that I have with my CBR 125 2014, 19k on the clock. When I leave it on neutral without adding gas the revs are just falling down untill it dies and even when i adjust the idle revs to be 3k its running for a minute and then revs are slowly dropping till it dies. If it dies when im not riding i can start it again on the button with opening the trottle but when it dies while riding, it wont start on the button but will easily start with a push.
I had this problem since i bought it about a month ago but then I increased the idle revs a bit and it was running fine but looks like it has now got worse.
When the bike gets to the proper temperature it works all right.
I tried different batteries and its the same.
Spark plug is new, and oil changed recently as well.
Also i have a difficulty upshifting to third gear time to time but dont think it may be related
Any comments are welcome

I dont have a software to read codes, but no warning light is on. Which connector is it that might be causing this?
Im thinking to get another throttle with the air control valve on it and try that unless it might be something else?

Hi , you don't need any software to read the codes ,it's a matter of counting the flashes from the fault lamp, the ECT connector is below the fuel tank with a Yellow/Blue and Green/Orange wire going to it, but that should have come up as a fault if there was a problem with it, have you got a workshop manual and multimeter because that's what I think you might need

I have rode the bike with idle revs set high in the morning, now i turned them back to normal and its running fine as they stay at about 1.5k even though the bike is cold now.
I havent done anything with the connector today but I remember i disconnected it once and it was no problem with the engine.
I never seen the fault indicator ever flashing to be honest.
Do you have any idea what might have caused the issue as im pretty sure it will come back some day?

Just one of those things matey, when in doubt just go back over everything you've done, and check connectors 80% of the time its going to be one of them
