completely abnormal. XB's have smooth fueling and throttle delivery when all is well. your 2009 probably needs a "tune" to include tps reset(done manually on 08 and later via owners manual and throttle twist grip procedure), spark plugs replaced with NGK DCPR9EIX which are iridium and enhance rideability, a dedicated ground wire from rear-most coil hex cap bolt fastener to negative battery cable frame grounding point. also the installation of a generic "race map" enhances rideability, performance and cooler running temps.
