Default Check Engine Light

Check Engine Light comes on after the bike is been riden for about 40 minutes.... Periodically will stall when in a stand still position. Any advice?

If the battery is bad, replace it and see if that solves the other problems.

The more electronics a vehicle has, the more a weak battery can cause all sorts of "issues".

You need to check for stored codes. Several sensors affect idle and if they are failing will stall bike at idle.

Check engine light is indicating your problem. Check the codes and see what it is pointing to. May be low voltage but you won't know until you pull the code.
