Idle
I think the problem is in the fuel tank.
Check that the tank vent-hose is not pinched or obstructed.
Try loosening your fuel cap to see if the bike will idle.
Check your fuel filter (replace it.)
Usually if your bike won't idle, especially after running, it is fuel/air related. The best guess is that your bike developes a vacuum in the tank and the fuel can't flow to the injectors.

My 03 EG has EFI. When the IAC needs to be cleaned the system tries to set the idle point so low it will often stumble and die after the bike has warmed up. A little carb cleaner sprayed in the IAC hole, cycle the bike off and on, and it normally clears the problem. Just something to look at if you have EFI :-)

I agree that it's a dirty IAC. Although probably better to use throttle body cleaner if you can. It may not make a difference but I have read that carb cleaner is not the best choice. Could be BS but it can't hurt to use the product that's made for EFI.
