Bird kept dying on me....

I was out running errands yesterday and my bird was acting really funny. Usually at a stop light if its a long wait I will put in neutral and just chill and the bike will idle fine. Yesterday when approaching a stop I would down shift to slow down a bit and right before the stop I pulled in the clutch to coast up to the stop in first gear. While in gear with the clutch in at a stop the bikes idle would sound ok for a moment then it would just die out. The bike even died while rolling in a coast with the clutch in a few times. I dont know if its just an idle adjustment or a carb problem. Any Ideas..

Just sounds like it is time for a tune up to me. Check the carb balance and mixtures.
