Your bike starts but then starts losing power and then just cuts out what is wrong?

[Edit]

Answer

check you fuel lines for clogs and check the rest of the bike for clogs it could be blocking air or gas and your not getting enought of it.

Another possibility, depending on the length of time between starting and dying which is usually a few minutes, is that your piston rings and/or top end is bad. Basically what happens is as your bike heats up (on a two stroke this can occur pretty quickly), the metal in your head expands causing a loss of pressure which in turn causes your motorcycle to die. Check the compression as well as the potential issues mentioned above.
