Well, sounds like it's going to be in the tank. Pickup tube or pin-hole in the fuel line. Lot of reports on the later.

NO, tank cleaner wont help.

Sounds more like the pin hole problem with that year, went through it.

Gonna have to get into the tank and see what's going on, pin hole or cracked housing is also an issue in there.
Change out that filter too.

Sounds like she put a spell on the bike so you would come see her.
