I called a mechanic and he said that when the bike is rolling backwards it can cause a spike in the flux capacitor. That in turn produces an excess of homotrons and might cause the bike to stall.

If you have your mechanic screw your chit up like this poor guy, you can run your bike in reverse all day:
