Ok so few updates. The bike starts great. Idles between 1.5 and 1k like it always has. I rode it around my block for a bit to make sure it was okay. It did fine. So I assumed it was alright. I go down the street to turn into a plaza 300 feet away. So I slow down for the turn, turn right into the lot, and as expected, the engine starts to sputter and dies. Luckily the lot was empty so I just pulled into a space. I started it up again just to see if it could and it did just fine but I didn't want to risk riding it back so I walked it. Thankfully I wasn't too far from home.

Once home, I start it up again. Everything seems to be fine. Shut it off. Started it up again, rode around my block again in 1st, nice and slow. Pulled into my garage and shut it off. Did fine this time.

So something I've noticed is that the problem occurs often while slowing down especially when shifting down.

Any idea guys?
