Stumbles
ON the M8's it's a sign the clutch safety switch is out, mine did the same thing with less than 500 miles on it. Stalled at a light and couldn't start till I put her in neutral. Try starting the bike in gear with the clutch in, it doesn't the switches bad and this is a very common issue with them.
Warning signs are stall's and erratic idle.

Don't let them bullshit you, it's a very well known issue some dealers will try and sandbag you as they will change the switch and have it go out again 20 miles down the road. Many threads in the M8 section in here on this very issue.

On a serious note, having a problem that causes a stall and no immediate restart sounds pretty darn recall worthy to me.
