Default bikes dies at 70mph

only happend once, yesterday, cruising down the back roads and i twist the gas and she just bogg;d down and slowly dies, i coast to a driveway and put her in nuetral and she cranks and cranks but wouldnt start, i pull the seat and get the tools out but before i start to take it apart i thought to give it one more try, i crank her,,nothing,,i choke the crap out of her she starts to fire, but if i add throttle she dies, so i choke her again and let her idle for 2 minutes,,slowly turn the choke back and give her some fuel and shes fine. rode her home and she ran great, home was 40 miles and it was like nothing ever happend,,i just dont want it to happen again,,so what you guys think?, she acked like she flooded out?,,but going down the highway at the time?,,weird.

Sounds like a fuel DELIVERY problem. If it happens again, open your gas tank and try starting. Make sure the vent hoses at the rear of the tank are clear and not kinked. Test your fuel pump and relay. Inspect your fuel filter. You may also have a large piece of debris in the tank that's slightly clogging the petcock.
