Yamaha V-Star 1100 Custom stalls when downshifting

I have a '99 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Custom. I put a new battery in it towards the end of last summer. Unfortunately I did not take the battery out of the bike over the winter months.

Just took the bike out of its winter hibernation and it started first time. However, it is going completely dead from time to time when I gear down. I have power to the lights etc. If I leave it a couple minutes it seems to start back up again.

Can anyone please help me figure out the problem? Thanks, Tim.

    I did start it up 1 week ago and ran it for a couple of minutes before it stalled on me. Took air filter cover off and had some oily gas come out of the air intake.

V-star 1100 custom stalls when dropped into 1st gear
Check the switch connected to the kickstand. A lot of bikes will not allow you to have the bike in gear when the kickstand is down and if that switch/relay goes bad, it can result in exactly what you are describing.
