My 08 Feej will die at times when accelerating from a dead stop. Typically happens when bike is a bit hot; anyone else experiencing simular problems?

 
Are you saying it dies when you give it throttle off idle? Make sure idle is at 1100. Low idle is the main cause of stumbling from a stop. The system doesn't pick up smoothly from too low RPMs.

+1 here, my 09 did the same thing when I got it from the dealer, bumped the idle up about 100 rpms and its fine now.
