Re: engine stalling and flat battery
welcome to the forum mate.
sounds like your regulator to me, had the same problem on another bike i had, fully charge then two miles down the road it all dies, was quite funny when i put the indicator on and the bike would fire up and die in synch with the indicator!
If you can, get a multimeter and check the voltage across the battery terminals, i believe there should be a certain voltage across them while the engine is running. That should pretty much confirm your rectifier/regulator has gone.
