Starting this new thread as a place holder to log my fix and collect suggestions. I've researched a lot but the one result that both matched my symptoms exactly and followed up with a: "This worked for me"...did not work for me.
Background event:
I left the radio on over night last weekend and discovered a dead battery heading off to work Mon morning. 15 minutes on the charger had it started and I was off to work. On the way I noticed that the radio would not turn on....I've seen this once before...once home I disconnected the battery, waited a couple minutes, reconnected it, and it was fine. I next reconnected the charger and gave it a proper charge overnight.
Symptoms:
Since then, the bike chooses unpredictable moments to stall when slowing/stopping and pulling in the clutch. It first happened the next day after riding on the highway at quite high rpms (7k+) and exiting. It stalled for the first time at the red light at the end of the exit ramp. In the middle of 3 lanes of traffic I was panic stricken, and was only able to get it started by goosing the throttle. Take-off was erratic, but it ran fine at speed.
It has stalled on nummerous occaisions since, after both high rev riding and normal. It doesn't stall with every stop and I cannot predit when it will. If I'm rolling, popping the clutch will restart it; if I'm stopped I need to goose the throttle.
Tried so far:

Tried so far:
- Seemed to be the clasic TPS and I performed the reset sequence (key on, bike off, WOT twice, key off); didn't help; performed it again; still didn't help.
- There is no sucking of air when opening the gas tank
