I HAD THIS PROBLEM. BIKE WOULD START AND IDLE NO PROBLEM. WOULD GET UP TO SPEED AND DIE. WOULD START AFTER SITTING. BIKE HAD BEEN SITTING FOR A PERIOD.
FIX:: REPLACED FUEL FILTER FIXED THE PROBLEM.
LOCATION::: TUCKED UP ABOVE VOLTAGE REGULATER RECTIFIER IN FRONT OF REAR TIRE LOOKING UP.
What u are describing is typical of a faulty ignition system, but could also be a fuel problem. I check by removing the aircleaner and rotating the throttle. If u see a nice spray of fuel, thats probably not the problem. Check for a spark at the plugs. I can explain how if you need me to. If you cant see a good spark, U have an electrical problem. I had a crank position sensor go bad on me. Dont do what I did (replaced the battery, ignition, and regulator as part of my diagnosis procedure)
