Default Randomly stalling! :O

Hello all!!

Well I have had my SV now for about a month or so, and its great fun!

I have a small problem that has only happened twice but if it happens at the wrong time will be very dangerous!

The bike seems to cut out and stop all together when I am riding along and just in the process of changing gear. (I think)

The first time it happened I had just turned right into a road and was shifting up from First to second let the clutch out and the whole bike went dead (like u stalled it) and i left a 6ft skid mark on the road because it was in gear (i dont wanna say what was in my pants!! ) weather was bright, dry, and warm and the bike had been out on a 100mile trip.

The second time i was just going along the road, changed up, I think, because i had just overtaken a bus. And it stalled/stopped again. This time I felt the bike stall and started the engine whilst drifting along and hadnt released the clutch. It was wet but the bike was hot after bleeing around the edinburgh bypass.

Has this happened to anyone else?

I think I may be shifting down into 1st or a lower gear and then the back wheel locking up and then stalling as the back wheel is running to fast for the engine? But i cant be sure?

Anyone know anything else?

Cheers
