06 Factory won't idle

Hi all, new on here though I often read the posts.... can one of you please help ??!!
I have an 06 RSV, stator fried on 21k so I fitted a new one. Then the dreaded clicking sound , so a new starter relay and battery to make sure. Took it for an mot, noticed a little oil from the gasket I'd fitted when changing the stator.
Took it apart, made sure the gasket was perfect and hit the start button for my first good thrash in two years !.....shoot at will, but my business took i had no time to myself. No excuse really, just convincing myself!
Here's the thing I'm beating up myself over..... for no reason i can see, the bike starts but will not idle without a tiny bit of throttle, and was fine before I realined the gasket???. Itchy isn't the word, can somebody get me back on it please???
 
has the bike sat for 2 years ? without starting now and then ,could be the petrols went off try fresh tank full mate and take it up the motorway for a good few miles at full grin see it it cleans the injectors ooot or try a petrol treatment stuff . you could stick a cup of meths in the tank help to absorb any moisture in your petrol tank that would help im sure . could there be any air leaks in the system :ie crack or rubber pipe came off going to or from the throttle boddies ,dirty air filter make it too rich also ..

all i can think of for now mate good luck bud hope you find the problem
 
unfortunately i've just given a it a full service, tank was drained down when taken off road, new everything!
Started with a quick flick on the button, ran perfectly until i took off the stator casing to fix a small leak and bolted it back together.
