So this will now be the second time the bike has done this to me.... Ride all day just fine, come to one stop and it stalls out. Won't restart for a good while. At first I thought it was the clutch being stuck in the basket not allowing it to spin fast enough, so I took it apart and filed the grooves down, ran fine after. Did it fix it? I have no idea. Yesterday was out riding and it did the same thing but this time it fired up semi-easier than the first run about, it still took a panic enraged fury of kicking however...
Has anyone experienced this where it just dies randomly and only once out of X days running just fine?
On a side note, are the wiseco clutch baskets worth it?

Was it a wet rainy day? Check that your kill switch wasn't letting water in.

intermittent problems are often electrical. unplug/plug back in all the connectors.
change the spark plug.
take off the flywheel and clean off any corrosion at/around the screws holding down the stator coil adjustment plate. that is a ground path.

It sounds more fuel related. Float valve leaky? Any sign of gas dribbling when it does not want to re-start?

Does it start better in neutral and does it have good compression.

A smear of dielectric grease at all electrical connection points can be useful in preventing stray short circuits. A spray down with WD 40 or similar water dispersing solvent can be helpful as well.
