I have to agree with Gary, I down shift and use engine braking ,I've only replaced my front brakes once in 30,000 miles and have never replaced the clutch.(clutch plates don't wear out on these bikes , 8000 members an only one recorded case) Are you really worried about gas mileage on a bike that should avg .about50 mpg? If you down shift an let the clutch out each time the bike will no longer stall,try it you'll see.If you need to evade you can do it by grabbing some throttle(faster) because the clutch is already out and your in the proper gear .when you pull in the clutch ,and close the throttle at 70 mph the motor turning 4700 rpm and the idle jet is only supplying enough fuel for 1100 rpm ,why wouldn't stall ? how long does it take for the motor to slow to 1100 rpm with no load on it (forever) and there is a super lean fuel /air mix that won't support combustion.
