I have been in traffic on my 1100 (run redline 10-40) and bike got hot, pulled over let it cool. If temps are above 105, in traffic (which will raise the air around you even more from cars heating it up), bike is spending more time idling than moving, it can be good to give it a break. My bike starts to ping when it is in those conditions and real real hot. Bike is jetted with a 5 degree advancer. I only use premium in the summer.
As for ethanol, avoid it, just avoid it.In places out west, like CA, it is nearly impossible to avoid. The only place that sells ethanol free gas in my area is 20 minutes away, near a lake, presumably for boaters.
If you want trouble free driving with E10 gas, then get a FI bike.
