I've experienced this. Do your flashers come on when this happens? Seems to me mine did, but that might have been my doing during my surprise when it happens.
I also wonder, and you arent going to like this, if it does this because oil is not being scavenged from the crank case (the 'sumping' issue), thus making it more difficult to stay at a given RPM, so it stalls at the low end.
I had this stalling occur the day before my engine went due to the sumping issue.
Well after reading this thread I think Im gonna do everything I want to do to my RKS except performance mods. Then when I get to 23-24 months Ill do what I want. Mock then wont have any excuses
So whats wiping out the oil pumps?
Is this happening with stock motors or on Stage 1 or 2 kits.
Is the crank is twisting?
BTW, what the hell is this, a Counter balance?!?

Poor design IMO
Are all bikes affected. No!
Which leads me to believe its due to assembly. Which in a oerfect world, should work like a jigsaw puzzle.
But only works when all oarts fit as should.
There are imconsistancies. Maybe badly labled parts? Wrong seals used where they don’t belong?
Or... Only monday assembly bikes having issues.

Lets stop and think abit 🤔.
Are you suggesting that the quality control ain't up to par
Considering most of the problems are relating to oil sumpin and pumps goin south, I’d have to say seals are a main issue
Oil migrating from trans to primary is also seal related. But add to that it is also a bad design.
Oil pumps have been coming loose may not be a s al issue, but they’re failing. Some don’t seal
Lube related issues will lead to other aspects and of engine failure.
So sealing it properly will most likely solve most, if not all of these common problem.
But assembly is priority number one. And there may be issues there IMO
