Sounds like it might be fueling related. Does the fuel pump whir for a few seconds and then shut off, when you turn on the ignition (but not start it)?

hello mate had similar problem after i high sided 99 996 bip eventually sussed out that the block connector to the computer (ECU) had come loose at one end not creating a full circuit, also had similar problem on CBR 600 and that was voltage regulator.
hope this helps.

weeksy
are you saying you had the fuel pump to bits ?? I was told this wasnt a servicable item and had to be replaced the fault was eventually traced to the throttle potentiometer which was replaced and everything is running fine again no probs with the dealer as the last episode was FOC but maybe I should start fiddling myself could be a bit scary eh !
