Bike quits suddenly, no reason

OK heres the scenario:

Pulling away from a light I let her rip in 1st and rev it up to 8 or 9k then drop the throttle and pull the clutch simultaneously. The engine quits. The tach just drops all the way to 0. Might happen when I grab second but im releasing the clutch and back on the gas so quick it restarts and pulls away without me noticing but I wonder if any of you had this happen to you and what the possible causes could be. Doesnt seem to matter if the bike is cold or warmed up. Ive noticed it happening a couple times recently and once even when I was getting on the highway and revved it up in 3rd gear, and hesitated with the shift because I was catching traffic pretty quick and I was setting up to skip shift on up to 6th and enter a more sedate cruise mode.

ANY IDEAS?

Just did a bit of searching in the tech forum. I think Ill bump the idle speed up to around 11-1200rpm. Yeah I think Ill try that.
