I have to ask. . . .
Were you riding in ADVENTURE mode? and if so, what was your slip assist set to?

I just finished 7 days of very technical off road riding in Baja, typically riding on slip control #3. No problems at all riding at very low rpm's, slipping the clutch in first and second gear through "trials" type technical stuff. On the steepest climbs through baby head fields, ruts and cactus I bumped the slip up to 5 and 6, upon which the bike stalled 3 times in a half hour. I dropped the slip back to 3, and had no further problems. I first thought I was losing my touch with the clutch, but later suspected the bike would/could stall at low rpm's if in a higher slip control number.

This is not scientific, but I'm logging it in the "things to be aware of" category, especially if in a No Fall zone.
Update: a month later, and now nearing the end of another Baja week, I can confirm that when riding technical sections at the bottom of 1st and 2nd gear…. A higher slip control like 5 or 7 requires a little higher rpm then just at idle. Ive since changed my typical riding selection to 2 instead of 3. The versatility of this bike is spectacular as is the quickshifter in the dirt.
 
I'm starting to think the downshift's the culprit here. I'm still getting used to this bike, not fully dialed in yet. Does anyone know if you can disable the auto-shifting feature? My old Ducati let me turn that off. If I could shut it off, maybe the issue would disappear. I'm leaning towards a problem with the shifting components themselves, rather than the ECU or fuel system.

I had engine cut-off twice in 2000 km. Once while downshifting and once while (slowly) upshifting. Both with manual clutch. 1000 km ago the Workshop repeated the quickshifter calibration because shifting with quickshifter was very poor. Since then more issue.
Maybe the quickshifter calibration contain some speed increase during shifting which becomes valid for Manual shifting as well?

the quickshifter? Yeah, it’s in the menus. Easy to turn it off.

I don’t know. The transmission and sensors on the Norden are a bit finicky. I’m not sure how many of my mis-shifts are because of me or the bike. The quickshifter can be a bit flakey. I’ve had mine recalibrated at the dealer and it was better, but I still get the odd mis-shift in the upper gears.

I’ve also started getting into neutral shifting from 1st to 2nd, but that might be the enduro boots I’m wearing. Still working on that.

I had 3 flame-outs on the clutch, but I’m half-convinced it was bad fuel. They happened early on (before my first 1000KMs) and hasn’t happened since. Hopefully it’s just fuel and/or “new bike gremlins”.
