ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

 My motorcycle will start and run for a while but will randomly shut off when the engine gets down to idle. this problem is not persistent and seems to happen one day, be fine for a few days, and then arise again. when the bike is running and i 'm up at speed it runs flawlessly, but every now and then the bike doesn't want to idle and it will die when i come to a stop or if i keep in the clutch too long and the rpm drops too low. there have been some instances where i've come to a stop, needed to go abruptly, and wasn't able to because my bike had just died, creating a potentially hazardous situation for me since i was not able to get out of the way of danger.
