    It could be ignition or fuel. It's hard to test from here. You could bring a couple of plugs with you and when it shuts down- disconnect a couple plug wires and attach a couple of grounded plugs and see if they spark not. You could try turning the fuel petcock to prime when it cuts off and see if it'll crank up again. Try to diagnose using the process of elimination.

      maybe a clogged vent to the tank. open the gas cap before trying to restart bike. vent I believe is in the cap.

          Check your oil level. Open the oil fill cap and sniff for fuel smell. If you find the oil is high, or there is a strong odor of gas... you have a carb issue that needs to be fixed, then after that is done... change the oil.

              No, it shouldn't smell like gas, it should smell like oil.

                      You might have fuel leaking into the crankcase. It happens sometimes if the petcock and/or floats are bad/damaged/dirty

                          It should normaly be down=on
                          forward =reserve
                          rear= prime

                            you won't be able to see the gas as it mixes with oil. Like others have said- it shouldn't smell like gas. gas thins out the oil- lowers the viscosity and reduces lubrication.
                            The float issue isn't the float inside the fuel tank. That float is for the gas gauge. The float problem is in the carbs. Leaving the petcock in the prime position lets the gas flow whether the engine is running or not. Prime should only be used when the carbs are empty- like after running out of gas or after installing carbs.
                            Fix the fuel issue first- then change the oil. Fuel issue is petcock and carbs.

                              To clarify...

                              The ONLY thing that prevents fuel from flowing into your crank case and mixing with oil is the float needles. If this is happening, the ONLY thing that will stop it is cleaning and inspecting/testing the carbs to make sure it has stopped.

                              Petcock has nothing to do with the problem being a problem, and nothing you do to the petcock will fix the issue.

                              The petcock not working correctly or on the wrong setting (left sitting on prime) only makes the carb float needle issue an OBVIOUS problem... It points it out for you. Your petcock flows fuel all the time when the motor is running. Fuel WILL flood into the crank case even if the petcock is working correctly and on the right setting. It just takes a little longer for you to notice the carb float needle issue as it's smaller amounts of fuel at a time.
