Fuel fuel filters can be changed, such as the ones on fuel injected bikes.

This sounds like an electronic component that could be going bad and is malfunctioning when hot. The hard part about troubleshooting this is that you need to be checking the components when everything is hot so that you get a bad reading on the part that is bad. Like others have said check for spark first and then go from there. I'd start with the cheap/easy stuff like loose wires then coil then ICM is the order I'd go. If you have spark pull the fuel line off at the carburetor and see if gas comes out. If it doesn't then fuel is your problem and could be a bad petcock or something like that.
