Vapor lock at normal operating temp? 08 GSX-R600

I have a 08 GSXR 600 and once it is up to normal operating temp, 192 to 212, it will "bog" out and lose throttle response randomly (not lending to an electrical issue, but more mechanical), slow down, and when it reacts again to throttle response its like popping the clutch under an open throttle and kick real hard, enough to cause the back end to step out in a corner if it were to happen while cornering. It usually happens around 5K rpm and in 3rd and 4th gear at about 42 mph, and has recently happened in 6th gear at about 80 to 83 mph. I have 8K miles on the bike, serviced as scheduled and broke in correctly. This problem has been happening over the last 3 months. Is it possible that the fuel lines have come lose and are too close to a high heat source and creating vapor bubbles in the fuel line and starving the engine? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do have an extended warranty from the dealer, could this be covered, and if not would there be a simple/inexpensive fix that a dealer could do?
