Default Suzuki 1500 stalls unexpectedly

I posted this on the cruiser site and it was suggested I post here too. I have a 2003 Suzuki 1500 Intruder with about 4000 miles. I have had the reg. servicing. Yesterday in about 65 degree weather I was in stop and go traffic for about 20 min when the bike just died. Plenty of fuel and oil. I immediately pulled in the clutch and tried to start if jumped backfired initially started and then died when I went into gear. After this it would not start. Initially it tried to turn over but then the starter couldn't turn the engine over. After about 30-40 min when cool, it started. Any ideas?
