bike sometimes dies randomly

ok sometimes my bike dies randomly it gets sluggish and then when i let off it dies but if i let it sit for about five minutes or so it will start right back up and be fine but sometimes it stalls again and today when i went to leave work it did it and i let it sit for a little bit and it started back up and rode fine but about twenty minutes later it started acting up so i gave it a little choke (if it stalls it will start up immediately when the choke is used but once the choke is turned off it dies) i rode it for like five minutes or so with the choke on and when i turned it off it was fine also i recently replaced the fuel filter cause i thought that could be part of the problem but it started acting up today so im baffled oh yeah the bikes a 91 kawasaki zx-7r thanks for the help

Re: bike sometimes dies randomly

coils may be messed up i'd get them looked at if all the above fails. could also be the cdi (i think that's what it has) or what ever kind of ignition box it has.

Re: bike sometimes dies randomly

My first guess would be a kinked fuel line. I'm not sure if that bike has a fuel pump or a vacuum operated gravity petc0ck. If it is a vacuum operated petc0ck, make sure that the vacuum line isn't kinked and doesn't have a hole in it.

Check the vent tube on the fuel tank too.
