I've seen other people with the stalling issue, it might be the charcoal canister filling with fumes on hot days. Jakethegarden snake on RUclips had the same issue, something to consider! Easy fix
Had the 300 rally , but even as an experienced off road rider, the tall seat height was not good for my short inseam on big hills, thinking of buying another one and lowering it 40mm.
On the 'twichy-throttle' - have you checked the cable adjustments? Notoriously out of spec from the factory and usually unchecked at the dealer; I've seen a couple CRF300L vids on this. Also some comments on running with premium gas to ease the lean effect.
This was definitely part of it! When I put the new handlebars on, I had adjusted the throttle cable at an awkward angle....because of this, it left a lot of slack. I adjusted some things last weekend, and was able to tighten it a lot, while still making sure it wasn't too tight across the full sweep. It's MUCH better now (but still a little twitchy)
I have the same bike, an LS. It'll be a year old in October. She does get hot although the coolant level is fine. I'd be interested in hearing why your bike was stalling as I've had it happen a couple times when I'm in moderate/rough terrain.
This has happened one other time when I was riding on rough terrain during a very hot day. There was no warning light that came on and coolant levels are fine...so not sure. It certainly seems like some kind of vapor lock or flame out. I know these bikes are set to run lean...and run hotter because of it. It has me wondering if it might be time to get the 550 ECU...simply to run the bike a bit richer.
Cracking video as always. :)

Nice video, I’m a flagstaffR and know the road well. Holiday weekend not my seen.
yeah, it was definitely chaotic with all the side-by-sides
