Default Bike stalling??
Had the bike out yesterday and she stalled on me twice? Any clues what is causing it? Bike only has 13k on it with a stage one.

It's a 06 and it's been out for a couple months now. I'm thinking it might have come from last gas stop, they were filling the tanks at the time. Coming to a rolling stop and it stalled.

I never get gas while they are filling tanks.

Fuel tanks all have a bit of water on the bottom, and some more than others.

MAY be your issue, might not. Ride it a hundred or 150 miles and fill up with good gas.

Yeah I wasn't happy to do it, plus good chance they were only filling up 87,

Could be bad gas, could be sticky idle speed solenoid. My 07 used to have an idle problem from time to time when I went for a long run on the highway then came to a stop. Dig around here there is good instructions on how to clean it mine has never upset since, also Seafoam is a wonderful thing.

IAC problem & or bad gas. Seafoam / Chevron techron injector cleaner would good to run with new high octane. But if the problem exists it's probably your IAC needs cleaning do a search for that
