Over the past year I have had periodic problems with my 850T stalling out after a short stop. After diagnosing and treating a variety of possible solutions I finally solved the riddle. A loose gas cap. It seems as though unless the cap is tightly sealed, the air escaping the tank -(more pronounced in warm/hot weather) will draw the fuel back away from the injectors creating a vacuum, or gap in the fuel supply. Since I stopped cranking the gas cap closed after fill-up, and now just tighten it until it's snug, I've had no stall outs.
