Red face Vstar 1100 vapor locking problem

Hello everyone! I am JerziGirl. I have a problem and am hopeing someone has an answer for me. My 2004 vstar 1100 silverado is vapor locking on me. It has stalled already on me while riding and has had trouble starting. I discovered that when I take the gas cap off it releases pressure and then will start right up for me. It will run fine for awhile until builds up pressure again. The cap I have now is new and I was told is ventless so pretty sure it's not my cap. Please help. Thanx!
