Default bike spurts down the highway then stalls lol

I had full tnak of gas the bike decides to put put put down the highway while traveling 70 MPH then stalls i pull side of the road starts right up then 5 miles later it does it again this happened 3 times. This happened from the way back from the dealership where the mecahnic said the carb needs cleaned and **** like that. But what would cause this to happen?? Spark plugs are probly fouled.
