Can anybody shed any light on this problem ive got.
My bike has been stood for the winter months and thought i would get it out for a ride,
unfortuantley the bike starts but after a few seconds stalls,has anybody got any ideas.
theres fuel in the tank and battery charged ?
Does it stall after the exact amount of time every time? Starts ok after ignition off/on but then does it again?
Run some fuel treatment through her.

Clean and lube BGC.

Tip over was my thought. But she should start again with just a ignition off and on again. It's locked in the headlight unit. You can remove it and you will just get a FI error light. Try it and see if that fixes your problem.

Yes thanks guys for your help.
My headlamp is hanging down at the mo so i can get to the wires and also took my side skirts off as ive sent them to LR designs so they can make templates for the white decals.

Just in case its of interest to anyone else, LR Designs already had the templates for the seat unit and tank Radiator side panels so ive sent them some for the lower cowl and Headlamp surround.So in the future anybody will be able to update the Black to White SDR colours or get them to make whatever design you want.

Just going back to the tip over switch,there is no Fault code coming up,will try tomoz
