Every once in a while while I am downshifting to come to a stop the bike will just die. This doesnt happen very often but it has repeated this a few times now. The bike starts right back up but this shouldnt happen. I have a full exhaust and a power commander with stock filter. What would cause this to happen? Is this the yamahastall that I have heard about? I do have the second gear problem where the bike accelerates slow from 5,500 rpms. I just havent made the Dealer fix it yet.

Why first turn the air bleed screws in, that will only screw up the syncronisation of the throttle bodys. The way Yamaha say is to turn out the screws (ccw) 1/2 a turn from where they are, and if that isn't enough another 1/4 turn.

Im thinking something is going on with the clutch. It was slipping slightly and I adjusted it because it was totally off. The previous owner must have adjusted it. After that the clutch did great and did not slip anymore. But very rarely it will die. Why would it do it every once in a while?
