--Sport bikes have a "bank angle sensor"
--Kawasaki just calls it an "angle sensor"
--When the bike is leaned over to far, the sensor assumes that the bike has gone down (as in a crash) and turns off the electrical system (to stop the fuel pump and keep the engine from running).
--From your description, it sounds like the angle sensor is over reacting.
--The angle sensor on your bike is bolted to the L side of the tool tray. Costs about $50.
--Maybe when the power commander was installed, the angle sensor was unpluged or damaged.
--Start the bike. While in neutral, lean the bike over. If the bike cuts off before the foot pegs touch the ground, then I'd change that part, just to rule it out.

Try removing the PC3. If that works, here's what I suspect: you have your fuel curves set way too rich.

It's a common misconception among bikers that you need more fuel for even subtle mods. Motorcycle engines are not special, so bike engine logic follows car logic. You don't need a fuel table reprog unless your engine is taking in a much larger volume of air and your bike will auto correct for any small changes. That means porting, hot cams, forced induction and the like are really the only things that need a Power Commander. If your bike is all but stock, you're just dumping fuel where it's not needed.

Does it have a tip over sensor? It may have been moved when PC was fitted. Suzuki had same problem with some bikes.
You should get it tuned on a dyno to make sure it isnt overfueling. Dynojet should be able to program your exact spec into it, although if you havnt fited a can and modified airbox you really shouldnt need it
