As for the engine dying for seemingly no reason: a few of us have had that happen. It seems to have something to do with the tank forming a vacuum. It usually happens if you get the bike nice and warm and then let it sit for 15 minutes before getting back on and riding it hard. A few blocks later it'll stumble and die. It can happen even with plenty of fuel in the tank but is more likely to happen when you have 3/4 a tank or less. Other than the 10-15 minute cool-down situation, I've had it happen when riding into a cold front or sudden rain after a long warm up.
