Welcome to the forum

Sounds like you are in need of a fuel controller, that will help get fuel at the right time. Did you replace the air filter?

ps, please turn CAPS off on your keyboard.

Also I am moving this to the correct sub forum..

Check the gas cap vent. Should blow in, but won't suck out.

I think i have found the problem , the gas tank doesnt have a vent hose i know nothing about the vent hose so im just wondering if that could be behind everything ?
Bingo! If the tank won't vent it will act like it's running out of gas.

You should have a vent hose on top of the gas cap, is there not one there? If not, you might even have a plugged gas cap, where the tubing will go.

I don't know if the Raptor has one, but check the fuel tank for a filter in the bottom. My friend's Z400 was doing the same thing and he found that filter all clogged up. The increased fuel flow would suck all the crap onto and starve the engine. When the engine stalled and fuel flow stopped, it was released from the filter screen.
