I eventually fired up my bike again but after about ten minutes of riding it stalled again at around 35MPH. The engine just went silent. Headlights and everything else were still functional.
What is the issue? How can I fix it?
I looked up several related forum topics:

Sounds like a fuel starvation issue. Try to replicate the running condition (you don't have to be traveling 60 mph on the highway. Find a long less traveled backroad, shift the bike up to 3rd and just hold the throttle about 3/4 and let the engine rpms rev high, you should encounter the same issue. Try to establish a pattern of exactly how the engine dies, do you feel a slight hesitation or bucking ? Does it feel like you just shut the key off ? There are quite a few possibilities and we need more details.
