The bike will start up the first time but when you start driving it will all of a sudden bog down and die and wont start back up again. I have already cleaned the air filter, and put a new fuel filter on and put in new fuel and it started up fine again and idled like normal, made it 1 mile then quit again and wouldnt start back up.
How long has the bike been sitting? Sounds like the carbs may be gummed up,and in need of a professional cleaning,and re-synchronizing.
The longest it has sit was only 30 days. When i got back off leave I went back to driving it like normal, was running smooth like it alway has. One thing i didnt put in the problem was i did run out of gas with it, but filled back up and everything like normal again, till a week after.
I would check and make sure that the fuel pump is working correctly to start with. Then check the vent in the fuel tank and make sure it isnt clogged. If both of these are OK,then i would start with checking spark when it cuts off....it could be several things. a bad crank sensor,bad ecm,bad ground,or bad connections to the ignition coils.

have you checked the breather in the petrol tank
if its blocked it can cause this problem as the petrol gets vapour locked.

It sounds like your bike has been sitting in storage for an extended period of time (a year or more) - and the carburetors are plugged up. If this is the case, they will need to be completely disassembled and cleaned out.
If it hasn't been sitting (and the carbs aren't plugged up) then check that all of the normal tune-up items have been performed, especially valve adjustment, oil and filters, spark plugs, etc. If this fails to produce positive results, perform a compression check on the engine. Each cylinder must be able to produce at least 140 psi of compression in order to run and idle properly.

Check float height in carbs.Thanks for asking and I hope this helps out.Please leave me 4 thumbs up.
