Default stalled

Just took the 500 (new with just over a 100 miles on it) out for a short spin, maybe five or so miles. It is warm here 70+, I let the bike warm up about 2/3 minutes at half choke then took off. After about three miles I came to a left turn and had to stop to let traffic pass before the turn and as I sat there it stalled, this happened a few nights ago and again I was not far from home. I have read it might be a good idea to leave it at half choke then after a few miles push the choke in. Is it a good idea, and because I didn't do that, could that be why the bike stalled?
