Just a sample of threads covering the issue.

If not that, then possibly a fuel delivery issue like restricted screens/filters or inadequate fuel pressure.
I did not use an aftermarket ignition. I fitted an OEM unit. The bike was running fine after I fitted the ignition. It was only after I re-assembled the headlight assembly and fairings that the problem developed. It starts easily and runs well for about 15 seconds and then just dies. It seems to be getting sufficient fuel. After it cuts out it will start again immediately and do the same thing.

If I turn the ignition on you can hear the fuel pump priming which is a whining sound but I am also hearing a clicking sound that seems to come from a sensor on the throttle bodies. I don't recall hearing this sound before the problem arose. At least I cant remember hearing it.

I am completely stumped by this and more than a little irritated. I am convinced that someone will find the problem and I am probably ggong to be very embarrassed when they do......and very greatful too
