Fuel injected? Have you checked to see if you have any stored fault codes?
When my Fuel Injected RKC classic acts a little funny and doesn't idle high enough (when cold) the first thing I do is check the battery connections. A loose battery connection might be the culprit.

I was having a similar stalling problem on my 06 a while back. Replacing the spark plugs seems to have cured it.
I might also suggest checking the spark plug torque or "finger tight plus a half turn". Be sure they are snug.

Do a search on IAC valve!! As noted above, it's the idle air control valve.

From: 40 miles Northeast of Indy..
Our 07 did the stalling at idle sitting at stop lights a few times when new. Always started right back up. Then again she did in 09 on two different rides around 20k.
On the first issue in 07, After I had the stg1/sert and dynoed at the 1k service she ran fine till around 20k.
At 20k she cut out a couple times while riding and then died right in front of one of our Local indys, He took the ECM and upluged it, waited a minute and then plugged it back in. He said sometimes they just need to be reseated. then we check the battery cables and they also was not tight. After we tightened them shes been perfect.
so it could have been either the cables or the ECM....
