Hi All,
This morning my Gen 1 Fazer started dying / cutting out on me.
About 9,500 revs in 1st, then seemingly dropping a bit lower in every gear until it was cutting out about 7,000 revs.
It just totally dies like I'd hit the kill switch, all Ok before then though, and after once I'd rolled the throttle off.
Any ideas please ?

sounds to me like the petrol tank breather pipe is restricted,, so your bike is effectively running out of fuel momentarily.  if the air cant get into the tank as quick as the fuel is going out to the carbs it will starve the engine and typically this happens at full throttle/high revs.  this could explain why when you roll off it comes back as you reduce the air opening at the carbs(which richens the mixture) and also reduce the demand for fuel allowing it to catch up.  check the breather pipe from the tank and make sure it isn't kinked or hasn't melted on the exhaust.  i have known people create this problem by trying to tuck the rubber pipes out of sight near the exhaust cos they don't realise what they're for ;-)
