I did some research, and it looks like it might be the controller or perhaps a sensor.
I am pretty savvy with electronics with a EE degree and a Ham radio experimenter.
The basic question it worth the $500 and try and fix it.
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't spend that large amount of money for someone else's problem on a bike that is maybe realistically worth that much new. If the customer didn't get it fixed then that sounds like it could be a greater issue.
If you are looking for a throttled vehicle like that there are tons of options out there that are brand new and have similar lower end parts but might have at least a smidgen of warranty support so you aren't overspending to fix their problems.
