Mine does not stall like yours does but it does sputter. Its more of a spit sound or pop sound coming from the carb. Wish I knew. The exhasust sputtering on downshifting and deceleration is normal I have read but not sure about the sputtering. .
This is a classic symptom of running lean, you can thank all those nice EPA components. I thank the lord the State of Nevada does not sniff motorcyles. Any who, you can thank Barone for this:

This link does not have a complete copy of the manual, if you want one message me and I'll email it to you.

Yank all of the EPA junk out, plug up the plenum vacuum port, and retune your carb, it makes a world of a difference in the how it feels across the powerband; I can't say it's faster, but much smoother operation and better cold starts.
