What would cause a new-ish bike to suddenly stall?

If your bike is in heat management mode, then the rear cylinder shuts down at zero throttle / idle. If you ease up on the clutch, even a little, without applying some throttle, the bike will stall MUCH easier than when not in heat management mode.

On page 144 of the owners manual it explains how to turn on/off the heat management feature (in case that has anything to do with it)
Mine often stalls when warm and taking off from idle. Not sure of the cause yet....

Thanks guys for the ideas... I too think that I got some bad gas, maybe a little water in it. I do know that the stall was not from the heat management system. The motor was not hot enough yet for it to kick in. And yes, I'm more than familiar with it, as it kicks in just about every day, but not until it's been run for a while. When it stalled though, it had only been running for about a mile, and wasn't yet up to operating temp.
