Assuming your riding a carbed bike, running good down low and sputtering wide open is usually an indication of fuel starvation. First, check the obvious stuff, like making sure there is no obstruction of the fuel flow from the tank (i.e. pinched line, clogged filter, etc...). If you got a good flow from the tank, then check the float levels in the carb. Most bikes are very sensititive to the float level and you need to get it within spec. Lastly, if you've modified the intake or exhaust system, your stock jetting could be too lean. You'd have to change out the jets for ones that are more suitable. A type club would probably be your best source of info for proper jet sizes for intake and exhaust mods.
