If my bike did that, it would annoy the heck out of me too. I'd first try and figure out why the clutch was dragging so much that it could stall a running engine even with it pulled in completely. Adding fuel at idle via shims in that case seems to be a bandaid over an actual problem with the bike, don't you think?
My bike would stahl out often also.... BUT that was ONLY this April here in Mi. when the morning Temps were like 37-45 degrees, that and the Bike was only warming up for 5 mins or so. Also it sat outside under a Ultraguard RED/BLK cover over night! out in the open at a Condo i lived at. (with a co-worker)

now since the weather morning temps are up 55+... NPs with sthalling the bike!
