A problem occurring right after service probably does not indicate anything bad about the quality of your bike. I'm always on the lookout for problems after I have taken my bike in--any bike, any dealer. You've probably got a kink or pinch in the breather hose. I had the same thing happen and it would go away when I cracked the gas cap a bit. The only other possibility that I can think of has to do with the hot weather. I had an in-line four Yamaha, with four carbs directly behind four hot cylinders, and only air-cooling. In hot weather, the heat coming off the cylinders could cause a vaporization problem, literally causing a kind of vapor lock with the fuel going to the carbs. I installed a heat shield between the cylinders and carbs, and that solved the problem. If that were a problem with the Bonnies though, more people would be reporting it, especially with the recent heat.
