Currently sitting in Thurrock services waiting for the girlfriend to bring me some tools so I can fix my broken down bike. Bike is constantly running out of fuel and cutting out. Can cut the engine wait a minute for the fuel pump to suck some more fuel through and go again for a minute or two. Rode it to work and back 30 mile round trip and now it decides that it isn't getting enough fuel. FML. must get an under seat toolkit[/u]

One of these, 15ft of paracord, some duct tape and a small can of WD40 live under my seat.

Do you know what's causing it? Tried running it with the fuel tank filler cap open in case the breather is blocked?

Another vote for a blocked cap breather, try riding with the cap off.

Is it pissing fuel all over the floor? Could be a stuck float.
