my bike would die when the R/R wires burned out while riding.
(the battery died)
i was under the impression that as long as i started the bike and kept it running it would be fine like most cars,
however when i pulled in the clutch the bike would die.
i wouldnt say that's your problem, however id say i know the feeling.
i dont really know how to help you in this situation... if its going from heavy rpm while riding to idle when you pull the clutch in, occasionally my bike will dip BELOW the idle speed... i keep my idle at 1500... and ive seen it go as low as 1k before from doing that.
if your bike idles at 1k, and your bike acts like mine, it could dip below idle when you pull the clutch in also, but so low that the bike cuts off.... see where im going with this? thats why i suggested upping your idle...
i rejetted, and resync'ed and adjusted the idle mixture screws.. and i havent had that problem since.

my r/r was fine. i upped my idle and it only died on the clutch once. and even then it bounced off just below 1k beforee it died. i might just have to play with my idle. thanks guys!
Have you checked the side stand switch?
It sounds as though there's a wiring fault here. Have you checked the clutch switch to make sure it's switch lines are not shorting to ground?
Both are linked to the rectifier on one side of its input and also the ignition control module.
This may be a good train of thought/exploration.

i wouldnt call it a permanent fix, but it will buy you some riding time to figure out whats wrong

This sounds like a switch issue right off the bat. You said you can't start it without pulling the clutch in (it should be able to though) which supports this theory as well. If you we closer I'd pull my stand/clutch perch and help you troubleshoot, unless a ride to CT is in your future...
