My XT Died....

Hey there,
I've been having a few issues with my XTz.
For acouple of months, occasionally, when I stop the engine cuts out, when riding along it misses, a momentary hiccup...When I told my dealer about the problems i was told Yamamha wouldn't do anything about it because they couldn't reproduce the snag.
Then, last week, riding along the A303 while overtaking a lorry, she died completely... I called the Yamaha breakdown service, which happens to be the RAC, who sent out someone who knows about bikes, (he used to ride dirt bikes as a kid). So after waiting 2 1/2 hours I finally got to warm up in the cab of a recover vehicle.
I took my bike to the dealer on the Monday. they gave me a loaner (NC750), and told me they'd be in touch... by the Tuesday evening I rang them to be told that they "think" it's the injector...Think?
Does anyone have any experience of a similar problem? When I switch the ignition on, sometimes the Engine Management light flashes on and off, usually it doesn't. It's covered 7500 miles...
Is it the injector?!!!
Best wishes...
