Pretty well every time after a very long freeway run in the summer humidity and heat (i.e. off-ramping to pull over for refueling, bathroom break, water/coffee/food), the engine would want to stall due to extra low idling RPM. Typically I could recover it with some throttle therapy. I wrote this off as a hot lump and/or fueling system, regardless of the freeway speed air-cooling effect. Maybe it was not enough.
The other theory was the battery was overheated due to long exposure to engine heat from the constant freeway wind blast.
In any case, it was more of a nuisance and was manageable / learned to live with it. A cool down break usually resolved the behaviour.
I seem to recall having a similar experience on some other past inline-4 Honda and Yamahas, but never on twins or liquid-cooled bikes.
