I swear by Wynns dry fuel for carb freeze, I put it in about September/October and that normally does it for the winter. Should sort it.

sounds like it's over fuelling... my gsx400t went through a stage of running fine for an hour or two, then doing exactly the same as you're describing... for a quick fix...take a 10mm spanner and open the float drain on the carb, let some fuel out, and then fire the bike up again... I stripped my carbs 4 times at the side of the road with only about 20 minutes of riding once... finally fixed it when I completely stripped the carbs, new diaphragm and put the springs ont he other side of the diaphragm, thus eleviating the need for the vaccuum line...

I also did the timing and the problem totally disappeared after that (camc hain snapped and broke an inlet rocker - welded back together, no problem!)

it sounds alot like a 2 stroke problem though.... not fuelling downhill, and therefor the oil pump didn't kick in, engine runs without oil...
