I've noticed when I'm in third gear and let of the clutch it stutters sometimes, doesn't do it all the time, just some times. Has anyone else had this issue?

What year bike?
How many miles?
Hmm. Do you mean like the engine is misfiring?
Or perhaps like it's skittering the rear tire? I can imagine that a mismatched rev on a downshift could skid a tire a bit?
This is a new one (to me). There are many reports of our bikes "stumbling" a tad when cold, and taking off in 1st gear, but I don't recall hearing anyone report this phenomenon when warm and in 3rd.
Any info you can share about it's service history? Last plug change, etc?
As I read it, the OP is saying the problem is when he "Engine Brakes" with the transmission in 3rd gear. Wouldn't an ignition problem, like fouled plugs or bad wires, show up when you're accelerating??? I would think it's an ECM or sensor problem.
