Engine cut out now possible rough running 2010 Roadster

Hi all - I bought the bike about 3 or 4 weeks ago but haven't had much of a chance to use is as the weather has been so awful when I've had the chance.....

Today I took the bike out for a spin but as I was slowing down approaching traffic lights, as I've been used to, I blipped the throttle slightly before downshifting and....the engine stalled.

I struggled to the side of the road fearing the worst but it restarted immediately when I tried, first time.

I'd been riding for about 10 minutes so the engine was reasonably warm but now I am paranoid. I went straight home but can't get the nagging feeling the engine is running rough and tickover is erratic. As I haven't had the bike long I have no idea what's normal...

It's never done this before and was fine on the way back home.

Can anyone reassure me (or not depending on the video) as I took a short video and posted it here

The engine sounds normal idling in that clip. How about under acceleration or at around 2500 rpm? Do you feel it missing or stuttering?

As to stalling while blipping the throttle, is this the first time it's been out this spring? If so, I'd put a bit more run time in before trying to find something that may not be a problem. Mine has stalled the odd time (very seldom) after a lengthy shut down, usually after sitting all winter. Those first few miles on the road might generate some unwanted stalls. Those nuisance issues disappear within a few miles or after the first tank of fuel.
