Bike won't run right

Hi. Posting for my friend. 2000 I/s.
Bike will start right up when cold, run for 10 minutes (exactly each time) then start running rough.
Let bike cool for 10-15 mins, then try again and exactly at 10 minutes runs rough.
No vaccum leaks, no carb / fuel problems. Fresh gas. Checked all coils - okay.
Can anyone help us out?
Thanks so much.

Pop the tank cap open and see if it stay running longer, maybe be the vent tube is plugged and pulling a vaccum on the tank.

Thanks Mr.Bubbles.
Tried that...wasn't the issue.

We just tried the bike (with gas cap closed) for 35 minutes and she ran good!...now i'm really stumped.

Sounds like it may be a tear in the vacuum diaphragm in the fuel valve.  The valve partly opens allowing fuel to flow at a reduced rate.  If the problem improves with a full tank of gas it strengthens my theory.  Higher fuel pressure pushing past the partly closed valve is better able to adequately feed the engine.
