    Which direction were you turning in, and how quickly?

    Check the routing of the wiring harness near the headstock and headlight. Look for a loose plug or worn insulation.

    You think it's something to do with the headlights wire harness? I did install a led headlight. The bike will start right back up after it dies.

    Turning the bars could wiggle a loose plug connection, or cause a worn wire to contact the frame, causing a short. Once the bars are straightened, the electric faries might be free to roam and perform their magic.

    ^that^. It could also be floats set too low, but that would cause a stall when braking in a straight and when turning in any direction at low speed.
