Default Dying when coming to an idle...

A few minutes ago I was on my bike in town..it seems to be running just fine..until I came to a red light, I stopped and it just cut off on me. Luckly It started right back up and I went straight home. From a start it seems to idle with no problem..but when I rev it up the rpm's just fall all the way down to 0.. So I pretty much have no Idea what this could be..any help?

I may have solved the problem. I think I might have bought bad gas..my car was acting funny too and I bought the gas at the same place for both. I bought some seafoam to put in my car and bike and so far both seems normal..hopefully that was just it.

mine does it only between 130-145 degree when its warming up. After that it runs fine. I got to change my FPR soon since its starting to backfire a bit. I might as well do plugs and air filter while Im at it.

Mine did this not too long ago also. Made me worried like hell that I'd have to do something. But after turning the idle up a little and a couple new tanks of gas later and I haven't had the problem again, just the one day. Was very odd.

Mine did it after being warmed up and ridden for 20+ minutes. Sometimes it would die coming to a stop after I clutched into neutral, sometimes it'd hover and die after I put it into first right before taking off. Weird day that was, haha.

I about had a heart attack today, when I took my right hand off for a sec, to shake it out, and when I put it back down, I turned the engine off, and right when the light turned green. Just about crapped my pants in the two seconds I was actually worried. Figured it was on topic enough. Now you know...
