a new tuner won't fix an existing electrical or fuel problem,stalling sounds like more than a bad tune,get it fixed then look at tuners,07 08 runn really lean and hot in stock form add pipes and ac and the problem is even worse,i would add a tuner but only after i got it fixed.

I have heard of some bikes rubbing a hole in the fuel line inside the tank causing problems especially when the tank wasn't completely full. Just a thought. A buddy of mine had the same type of problem...When the tank was full no problems but when it was about half full he would have problems with his bike stalling out.

Fuel filter shell as I recall, some were prone to crack.
