748 near breakdown/petrol problem???

I was riding home last night on my 748 after doing a few miles and the engine seemed to cut after revving really hard. I changed into 2nd and i thought i'd got neutral as nothing happened.

I got home (only about 2 miles) after checking the oil, etc, which was the same level as far as I could see, but it was so slow, hardly wanted to go atall and would cut out unless i held the throttle open.

Theres no unusual clunks or sounds other than sounding like its running out of petrol (like my old bike used to sound when u need to switch to reserve).

No oil/fluid has dropped out the bike overnight, I haven't got a clue what it could be. When i restarted it after stopping i could smell petrol a bit.

Anyone have any ideas in case its a simple fix before i take it to a dealer?
