Another potential problem that will give you a similar condition is fuel tank venting. If the tank/cap cannot vent it is the same as holding your thumb over a soda straw. The next time you ride and the engine dies, try loosening the fuel cap and restarting the engine. If this cures your problem the next step is to check the cap vent; a very small hole under the cap gasket near the center. Watch your fuel line and see if it empties. That will be a good indication that you're suffering from fuel starvation.
