Driving along on a major duel carriageway at about 80mph lost all power engine died.
Waited about 2 mins then it started up fine
Got up to 70mph after about 30 secs engine died.
Had to wait about 2 mins again and it started back up.
This time I stuck to 60mph no problems.
Never had this issue before. Right before it occurred I tired switching from 4th to 5th and the gear selector felt like it got caught between the gears and spazzed out a it but I cant see how it's relates..
Bike was pretty much parked up for two days apart from a short trip to the town and I brimmed it up before hand. Is it possible a breather hose is blocked?
Any tips? Ps I'm not mechanically minded.
Had a new exhaust a few months ago along with service and air filter.
Edit: I also haven't touched the fuel tap switch since I owned the thing I know some people recommend putting it in the off position but I've never had a issue with it so I don't touch it ____________________ Bikes: Previous Bikes: Piaggio x8 125: 2012/2013, YBR 125: 2013/2013 BMW R1150GS 2013/2017, Honda CBR600RR 2017/2017,

About 11:30 I also didn't let the bike warm up or use the choke as I've never needed it before. It also wasn't that cold. ____________________ Bikes: Previous Bikes: Piaggio x8 125: 2012/2013, YBR 125: 2013/2013 BMW R1150GS 2013/2017, Honda CBR600RR 2017/2017,

I think its sorted.
The fuel tap vaccum hose was partially perished and had a slit in it. Really hard to see but when I wiggled it about a bit it practically fell apart.
Thankfully the hose is quite long so I just shortened it and slot it back on and it fired up first time.
Fingers crossed its all fixed.
I know I need to look into relacing all the rad and fuel lines as they all look OEM might do that when my car is fully running.
I have a 20 year old car and 20 year old bike so that's fun! ____________________ Bikes: Previous Bikes: Piaggio x8 125: 2012/2013, YBR 125: 2013/2013 BMW R1150GS 2013/2017, Honda CBR600RR 2017/2017,
