    So i took the bike to work today, hadnt been on her for weeks. (I did turn her over once in between with taking her out just to keep battery charged)

    She was serviced a few months ago, new battery and new electrical thingie that ensures battery charges.

    anyway it was a fairly flat out spin along the M50 this morning. No issues all good.

    I came off the motorway and speed etc reduces. Came to a stop about 5 mins down the road at a set of lights and the engine throttle reduced before cutting out.

    Tried starting again, she started but when i gave it some juice it was like the fuel wasnt getting to the engine (as if there was little no fuel in the tank)

    After a while anyway after much effort she started with no issue and i continued on my merry way.

    It was suggested to me that it could be to do with the fuel lines. Any ideas on what i can do to check it out myself? It being a recession and all that! :)

    The fuel pump has been known to give trouble in a few older type deauvilles but the engine will run if the pump is bypassed and the tank is kept topped up. More info can be got from http://www.deauvilleuk.org/forum/ - register for free to get access to the technical sub forum.
    What year is the bike?
