ignition cutsout after approx 10 mins (any ideas)

So the bike when running on idle is fine, but when taking it for a run, after a few minutes it cuts out. Leave if for a while and it runs again, but the problem reoccurs?

Have you checked that the fuel line is not kinked somewhere?

I have had this problem before. I took my bike in for it's first service. All went well and I left. After a few miles the bike stopped running. No warning, nothing electrical it just died. Tried to start it but it wouldn't. Left it for a few minutes and it started. Left it idling for a few minutes and all was well. Got back on a tried to ride further, after a couple of miles or so the bike stopped running again.

Rode back to the garage (eventually) and told them of the issue. The lifted the tank and noticed the kinked fuel line. Straightened it back out and everything was fine.

Whilst it was kinked there was enough fuel getting through to the carbs to fill the float bowls and run the engine, but putting on power it needed more fuel but due to the kink fuel was being restricted when it needed it most.

Maybe this could be your problem too.

hi big ape
the last time i took it out i managed to ride it for three days before the problem reoccured ,at first i thought it may be fuel as it occured about the time it would take for a fuel bowl to empty and i recall on a car i had there was a flake of metal in the carb bowl that every now and then would block the main jet similar problem.its interesting that you say the bike just died on you though , no spluttering? i have already checked the fuel pipe when i checked the stop **** diaphram are there any filters before fuel splits to fill both carbs?

I promised feedback on this issue so here it is after exhausting all avenues on my fault finding I finally gave up and booked it into west london suzuki to see if they could find the problem, next day they phoned and they had located the cause of ignition cutting out to a relay in the immobiliser card ( I would have searched forever and never found this) anyway they bridged this and everything is now running fine. I was charged £90 which i thought was fairly reasonable considering, I was expecting loom tracing e.t.c to run quite a bit higher so I am now once again a happy bunny, thanx for all those out there who gave imput to try and help
