2016 48 sputters on take offs after fuel fill ups

I have a 2016 48 with 2200 miles. this morning I topped off the tank on the way to work rode to the yard roughly 1/4 mile and parked. End of the day I hop on and start the bike warm up a couple mins and take off roll outa the yard on to the street proceed to take off and get about 20 ft and the bike dies like it's not getting fuel. This is the 3rd time it's done this all after a fill up and let the bike sit no other time does it do this. I have to mess with starting and dieing for 10 mins like it's working something out then it'll run fine. Any one else hear of this ?

Just a wild guess, but next time take your gas cap off before you start it for your ride home. Maybe it sitting outside all day is causing some pressure inside your tank and there is an issue with your vent??

i thought about the the venting too, maybe when I top off like that and park it full maybe gas is getting into the vent tube when it leans over on jiffy stanf ?
