I have a 98 gsxr 600 srad. It starts up fine. After i ride it for about 20 or 30 mins. it starts to lose power and then shuts off. after a few mins i can start it right back up. it runs very well while it is running so i dont' know what would make it cut off.

I'm betting your fuel tank isn't venting properly. When it cuts out, open the fuel cap - I bet you hear a big sucking sound.

If that's the case ... I *think* that year vents through the cap, but I can't remember without looking at it - remove the cap and blow it out with air. It may have a vent line on the bottom of the tank, you need to make sure it isn't pinched.
