Default Engine Dying

Hope I can get a little advice.
My 09 Sporty 883 has been babied since I got it 16 months ago. But ever since then I have experience a dying problem. I will be going down the road and as I prepare to stop the engine dies, the speedometer goes to zero but the mileage or time continue to be displayed. Id I continually rev the engine I can keep it going but if I don't it dies. Once I come to a complete stop I can turn the key off and restart and go on down the road like nothing happened.

Any one ever experienced anything like this and if so how was it solved?

I don't have the box it came in, so I can't send it back!
