Personally, I'd look at the safety switch (above the sidestand) on my 89 Kat to make sure it's working properly. It might be nothing more than a case of lubing it.

I'm leaning more towards clutch safety switch. Could be either though, if they were completely faulty it would die when you shift into gear, releasing the clutch and it dies sounds like as soon as it gets moving you have bad contact...ok maybe check the sidestand switch first
