Did the valves again and voila! the problem went away. Chang (my RX3) still OCCASIONALLY will die when coming to a stop. Not very often at all. Did the valves about 3000 miles ago. .08mm, nice little tap to them. Been a great cold weather bike too. All in all, the valves being adjusted solved the dying issue for me. Been a solid ride and love it.

They are extremely likeable bikes and the more I ride it, the more attached I become.
Good to hear a proper valve adjustment did the trick! I know that these (and some of my other bikes) like to loosen battery terminals also. On the RX3, this can cause some weird symptoms, especially since these are ECM driven and injected, just like my Victory's. They can act weird with poor battery connections also. I check mine about every 500 miles on the RX3 so far, just in case.
