Default 08 hot stall issues?

Anyone with an 08 have hot stall problems?
Mine started stalling at stop signs on the way home from a long ride today.
I was not in heavy traffic but it was very hot out, 95 degrees and riding back roads 45-60 MPH.
The bike would fire right back up and would run till the next stop then stall again.
When I got home it stalled again pulling into the driveway but when I stopped and fired it up again it seemed to idle fine.
I've already checked the battery cables and they seem tight.
Don't think it's bad gas, as it started stalling when I was over half way through my last fill up and my wife filled hers up at the same time and same pump.
Her Yamaha, of course is running fine as usual.

Edit:&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; By the way, the bike is bone stock with 1600 miles.
And it may have been my imagination but I thought it had a tick more vibration and a bit less power than normal.

Same mileage here. Rode all day in the South Florida heat. No problems.

Stalling is not normal, take it in and get&nbsp\\;it fixed.

Mine did a similar thing a few months back.&nbsp\\; I tried a few things and what ended up working was taking off the seat and battery box and straightening out all the wires in there.

It looked like one of the groups of wires going to the ECM was rubbing against the two ground screws behind the battery box on the frame.
