Well it sounds like a fuel starvation problem. If you can rule out everything electrical like Killswitch and so forth then must be a fuel/air issue there, perhaps something as simple as gas tank vent being clogged.  Or it could be a fuel filter that's clogged or possibly some gunk in your carburetor clogging the Jets I don't know but a little more information about for example how long has the bike been sitting, did you winterize it, have you run some fuel system cleaner through it, changed the air cleaner stuff like that. You're going to have to be sort of a detective eliminating things like that one by one and let us know what you learn along the way.

So it's only happened twice since May and I haven't figured out how to replicate the problem yet. While riding down the road  (once on side road and once on the higway) the engine just stalled with little to no symptoms beforehand. I pull over it doesn't start back up first try but usually after a min it will start and run fine. This second time on the highway it happened a couple times and then once off the highway it didn't happen again.  But I did the same exact trip 2 days before with no problems. So I'm having a hard time figuring it out because the situation seems different every time it happens.
