The problem with the vent on the bike is it cannot breathe so it stops the gas running into the carbs. Underneath the tank at the front is a pipe, this is connected to the tank overflow and acts as a vent, if it does it again, just unsrew the gas cap and see if it starts up..

Could also of been rain hitting the coils or wiring



to add onto it...the small tube at the front of the tank on the underside has a rubber hose connected to it. That hose runs down the frame backbone, down by the carbs and dumps out under the bike.
So....if the tube gets pinched or clogged (this includes rain possibly misting up from the movement of the bike and getting sucked into the tube) it prevents fuel flow to the carbs as stated above.

It never happened to me again but from the advice given to me:
1) check the hose for kinks
2) cut the end of the hose sticking out under your bike at an angle.
