So, my bikes been running better than ever since about 2 weeks ago. Then today, as I was riding home from work, I had to run it with the choke most of the way home! I'd take the choke off and it would idle well for about half a minute then die (I had to restart my bike 3 times in the 15 min commute home). I obviously checked that I had enough gas in the tank, but I can't figure out what would have changed since I road it yesterday or the day before that would cause it to act this way. Any ideas???

it's not running right.

Sounds like you are all of a sudden running very lean...90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

If it does it again, open the gas cap & close it. If the issue goes away for awhile, it is your cap vent being blocked in some way. Start here & get back to us.

Nothing has been changed since it ran great, that's why I'm so confused! I checked the gas can lid too and that's not the problem. I bought some sea foam and put it in the tank to see if that'd do the trick and... nope... i'm running out of ideas!!!-Marty (Red)

You didn't mention it, so I'll suggest...
Check your fuel lines for kinks or obstructions. Will cause exactly that to happen.
