Ok klume so the bike could sit and idle all day and not have the problem and it only happens when you ride the bike?

Thinking back your bike should have a clutch saftey switch any road bike built after say 1980 has one someone has removed it.

Just checked a XV125 owners manual, they definitely have both side stand and clutch switches in the ignition circuit, as does the XV250

Symptoms sound similar to the problem I had recently on my Radian, cut out on me 4 times riding home from work, re-started every time agian on the button, found the clutch switch faulty

Check the clutch switch out agian kelum, if its been removed, find out how/where its been bypassed
