at a guess it only does it  when the fuel tank is less than a 1/4 full, and once you straighten up it cures itself ???
have a read through old posts , it sounds like gravity valve or maybe aftermarket tank fitted without a baffle.

it's tucked up between the filler neck and the bodywork, have a read through the posts in the fuel section, others have found different cures to the  same problem. not as drastic as it feels, basicaly engine is being starved of fuel by either faulty acumulater, poor pressure in tank, or gravity valve acting up.
