I live in Las Vegas. After sitting outside in the shade all day at work in over 100 degree heat, I find that the engine cuts out when I leave for home. The engine cuts out within 3 miles of starting and only while under acceleration to highway speeds. This only happens once and for a very short time. I think it is a bubble in the fuel line but the dealer can't find the problem. Any advice accept to not ride during hot days?
Try this. When you get to work leave the bike running and turn the fuel selector knob to off and let it run til it cuts off. It will drain the fuel from the carbs and trap the rest in the tank. It removes the air bubble in the lines problem so when you get ready to leave, switch the fuel on and wait a few minutes then crank her up and ride.

Nothing is wrong with unit ,that's how heat pump work ,you should also have a 2 stage heat which most likely electric heat so when heat pump cannot keep up with temperature the electric heat should kick in and heat up the space
Sometime a bad tps (Throttle positioning sensor) will cause this When they get reall bad the check engine light will come on. Have somebody scan the tps
i know all about the vegas heat. i live in henderson. the alternator is going out. the regulator is internal so you have to replace the whole alternator.
It sounds like your air conditioning is actually not the issue here. If your a/c is working in the morning, there is no reason it shouldn't work at a different time of day. What most people don't realize is how hard an a/c system must work to cool off a car that has been sitting in the sun all day during a hot summer. Even if you leave your windows down to avoid the greenhouse effect (which can make a HUGE difference if you don't) the interior of your vehicle is still probably a dozen or more degrees hotter than the temperature outside. This is because only so much air can circulate through cracked windows, and because of the direct sunlight shining onto your vehicle's interior and upholstery. Even once the a/c system is up and cooling the air inside your car, it is still struggling against the heat stored in your car's interior, which is giving up its heat to the surrounding air as it cools off. This can take quite awhile, and if your drive home is a short one, the a/c system may never have time to fully compensate once the car's interior has cooled to match the interior's temperature. To make matters worse, if your drive home is one through the city, you can expect your a/c to suffer. The air conditioning system needs good, steady airflow over it's condenser (a radiator-type part located just behind the front grill) and lots of starts and stops in a city or heavy traffic area can obviously prevent this. Above all though, the most important thing to remember is that with even a perfectly functioning a/c system, you can usually only expect about a 30 degree drop on average from the outside air temperature. So, if it is 100 degrees out, depending on the ambient pressure and humidity (also things which can affect an a/c system's efficency) you may only get air that's 70 degrees out of your vents. I would recommend always rolling your windows down half an inch or so, and park in the shade whenever possible. Also, putting a sunshade in your front (and sometimes even rear) windows, and having your side windows tinted (when legal) can go a LONG way toward keeping your interior as cool as possible when sitting parked in the sun for long periods of time
Look at your fan. You either have a weak fan clutch or if its electric you have an electrical fan problem. You need to see if the fan is running strong when it overheats. I am assuming you have checked your coolant.
