make sure you turn your choke off once it's warmed up. When my bike warms up, if the choke is on and I come to a stop light it will bog the engine b/c it's too rich.

What does chokes on itself mean ???
Is it running out of fuel ... try the tank vent. 20-30 mins is about right for it to act up.
Or is it electrical ??? try the crank trigger.
Cool.

Yeah if is sputters to death check the tank vent.  Open the tank right after death and if it hisses noticably and then runs that is your problem. 

If thats not it i am sure that we will all need a little more info to help you out.
