Warm out?  Vapor lock. Try riding with the gas cap open. If that fixes it, you owe me a beer.  :)

Sometimes the small orifice in the gas cap gets clogged so do the test mentioned above it is quick and easy.

It is sounding more to me that it is a carb/ petcock problem. Something is restricting the fuel. I would check the fuel filter first, petcock second and then clean the carb ( this should happen at least once a year). If you need step by step, let me know. Very very easy
