80 gsx750e dies in 5th gear

You said that if you sat after it died that it would eventually fill the bowls and start and run again. If it did this when the lever was in the run or reserve position and the bike was not running

Sorry for the confusion on this point, the bike always stays running, if I were to pull in the clutch and hold it in it may have died completely, but I never did, I decellerate and downshift down to about 30mph and that gives it enough time to refill the bowls and then runs properly again.

The only time this happened and I wasnt going fast enough to keep it running I had to use the choke to restart it, and it took a fair amount of cranking to refill the bowls.
