Guys

Any help out there for this:-

Was out today (first dry sunny day of the year!) on my 2002 RSV-R Mille . I pulled off the motorway and the engine cut out. All clocks and lights still working. Bike started third or fourth attempt but only ran for another couple of hundred yards before stopping again. Eventually I couldn't start it so called the RAC to get me home.

My engine kill switch sticks sometimes and I have heard that these can become faulty, before lashing out on a new switch has anyone else ever had something like this happen.

Felt a such a tw*t when bike started first time after unloading from the RAC lorry! :confused
 
Some things to look for:
Scorched brown connectors, scorched white connector under tail
clogged fuel filter
fuel pump failure
bad fuel line inside tank
fuel tank vent line pinched off
tip-over switch faulty
best of luck-cheers!
