my bike started the other day and when i was riding it started to splutter as if it ran out of petrol i kept trying to start it and a few times it was started it would stay running but as soon as you pull the throttle it will cut out again

i have a 53 plate dna 125 and had same problem, worked fine for a while then stopped at the lights and started spluttering, ticked over ok and when u pull throttle it just chokes, has the bike been stood cold for a while, i had to get my carb cleaned out, simple enough to do have to take off the fairings though, cleaned mine out and fired it up, be wanred though if that is the problem your acceleration will be emense, mine now hits 60 in about 6 n half seconds,

sounds like fuel starvation.pull of pipe at carb turn on fuel tap it should run freely ie 100 mls in under ten secs or better,if ok strip of carb float bowl and check floats,float valve.if tap flows slowly remove tap and clean filters.
