bike runs great for about 20 minutes then stalls.
Bike starts right up, no problems there. But when I ride for about 20 minutes, it will sputter then die, and not start back up. If I let it sit for about 30 minutes it will fire right back up, but do the same stall and not start again. I am thinking along the lines of carbuerator flooding issues, or coil overheating. Thanks in advance for any help.

coil or cdi

Might be a plugged gas cap vent. When the bike quits running just remove the cap and the vacuum in the tank will equalize with the outside air pressure. If the bike starts right up you have found the problem.

Will try the gas cap. Hope thats all it is. If it is plugged, how can I unplug it, or do I need a new one.

Never done it myself but some one with experience will be along shortly.

You can clean the little vent hole. Carb cleaner and a toothpick for anything that might be large enough to warrant it.
If it's running fine for nearly 20 minutes, then your bigger issue things aren't really going to be a problem. When you can restart it, is the bike still warm? Do you have to use choke when you restart? |

dont need choke and bike is still warm.

Turned out to be the gas cap vent. Cleaned it and bike runs awesome. Thanks everyone for the help. Happy, and safe riding out there.
