Computer replaced in '01... #1 coil and ignition sensor replaced in '04... numerous carb and tank clean outs... I deactivated kick stand kill switch... & most recently, the clutch sensor was adjusted to a tighter clearance... None of which has helped!

OK...

HOW does it stall when idling? Does it misfire a bit, slow down and quit or does it shut down like somebody threw a switch?

(That's a key question for sorting out whether this is a carb or electrical problem.)

Does the bike ever seem to buck or misfire during hard acceleration with large throttle settings?

How about at small throttle settings and either gentle acceleration or constant speed between 3000 - 5000 rpm -- any bucking or misfiring?
