Coming to a stop is when it happens, i pull the clutch in to drop her into second and engine dies.
there is power, and it starts right back up when i hit the run button, bump starting at that speed and cold tires ..... i dont like that so much ( input tire squealing sound here ) < -- sideways.
Dealer is going to get her for the 600 mile service any input in what i should ask them to look at is greatly appreciated. [thumbsup]

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty pristine body, but rather to come in sliding sideways all used up screaming F*CK YEAH WHAT A RDIE!!

Your best bet is to describe the symptom as well as you can, including any other possible contributing factors like weather conditions and engine temperature to the tech who will be working on your bike.  make sure the complaint is in writing on the repair order.  It is the tech's job to diagnose, not yours.

also check for the kickstand kill switch possibly having issues?

you are absolutely right, i just didnt want to go in unarmed know what i mean, get some lame ass answer and be satisfied or go in with a list of things and feel like im not being taken for a fool.

One problem that I created myself that was somewhat similar to yours is that I adjusted the levers in to be closer to the bars but in doing so the electronic kill switch was not being depressed enough by the tab under the lever.  It would continually stall when i would downshift or shift to 1st at a light.  I clicked the lever out one click and problem solved.
