Moto stalls? Alternator belt question too.

In the morning when the bike is just running for five minutes or so, some times it will stall out when I come to a stop at a light? Is this a quirk of this motor and the fuel maps? Otherwise, it runs perfect!

Also some times I smell a slight smell of burning rubber coming from the front of the engine, this is where the alternator belt is. Could this be a sign of a loose belt that is slipping when under load? When I purchased the moto in March, I rode it around 1000 miles and the battery completely died on me. The battery was the original and this is a 2013 model year so yes it died. When it died I smelled more burning rubber when it stalled out. I figured the alternator was working super hard to keep the bike running and all of the lights and accessories going too. Have any of you experienced this before?

Not a quirk, likely related to service/maintenance (valve lash, injector health, etc etc). Mapping is terrible stock, but it shouldn't stall when coming to a stop.

Certainly could be. Pop the front over off and check it. ;)
 
For stalling at a stop use carburetor cleaner in the supply line to the stepper motor. Procedure is covered on this forum.
 
well thank you for the info I am planning on doing the ECU upgrade and am going to do the 6000 mile service as soon as my oils and stuff arrive. I will check the belt then. Can you direct me to "the the cleaning the supply line: thread if it is not to much trouble?
