thanks mate , will give me a starting point. but from previous bikes thought coils just packed in .... end of story! as the bike has only done 1600 miles thought it could be a blocked filter or pump relay prob

hmmmmm - thats a strange one - presumably its still under Warranty - take it back - they will stick it on their machine!

I had the same sort of problem. Check the electric plug under the seat/ tank that connects fuel sender and auto fuel off unit. The clip had broken on mine and was coming loose. I put a tie around it. They get worn when the tank is taken off for servicing etc.

thanks will try that also . just annoying that you get all suited up ready for a cool down run out and this happens ! got full spark there , it seems like a fuelling problem as i can smell petrol from out of the exhaust.
