Bike shut off while driving

Idle set too low. It should be at 1200-1500.

My guess as well.

+ a small outside chance of the sidestand switch having issues.

I had a friend who had the same thing happen on his FZ1. He just restarted and it never happened again. Our conclusion, although a simple and yet probably wrong guess, was that he'd bumped the kill switch on and off somehow and didn't know it. He could have been going to do something odd like flashing his brights and did it on the wrong handle bar end or whatever. I know, sounds lame, but we couldn't figure it out either and it never happened again.

isnt that what the recall was about...have you brought yours in?

[JGoodson]

I havent heard about a recall but ill look into it thanks for all the replies

The turn signal relay up by the fuse box also has the tip-over switch there or the side stand switch connection (can't remember). I had one that was bad and when I'd tap it the bike would turn off. I first found out about it after I installed a gear indicator and it kept restarting on acceleration from a stop. But it wouldn't break the connection long enough to kill the bike or even for me to notice any interruption in the engine. It was strange and took me a while to find out what the hell was going on.

Seems like a radical fix for what is most likely a minor problem.
