Default Help troubleshooting engine stall

2014 FXDB. 38500 miles
Daily driver. Feels likes it's been running hot lately.

This morning when I pulled into work after 45 min commute bike was warm, not crazy, and engine stalled. Felt like I had let it die, electronics did not die. Started right back up with vinnert readout on gauge.

Fired up after work and at stop light engine nearly died. Prime light flickered on. I pulled back on throttle and gave it rpms and it stayed alive.

Let it idle at home, engine didn't stall.

Where should I start in terms of trouble shooting? Any advice?

Do a Diagnostic Error Scan and go from there.

Clean the IAC.
Inspect the tank for any internal pinholes or leaks. With the cap off, prime the fuel tank, see if you can hear or see any gas spraying.
When was the fuel filter last replaced?
