Herky jerky acceleration

I have been having herky jerky acceleration lately starting off and in second gear. It is usually between 2-4,000 RPM. I have had to adjust the idle up a little over the last month because it would sometimes die and each time I set it up to 1,500 it ends up idling at 1,000 but does not die anymore. I just put in some seafoam additive to my tank have driven about 40 miles can't tell a difference. I am going to keep driving over the next few days and see how it does. I wonder if this will work or am I wasting money.

Bike is 2003 with 5,000 miles, slip on yoshi and that is it. Should I ride it out wkth the seafoam or any other suggestions?
 
Check your fuel pump filter and consider replacing the fuel pump. I did both and my problems went away.
