Interestingly, or more annoyingly, i pulled up at work, popped it on the sidestand and buzzed for the car park lift (underground car park, lift takes you down). When the lift arrived, i put it in gear and it promptly stalled - silly me still on the side stand.
But it wouldnt re-start, battery just didnt turn it over.  Theres a steep decline down to the lift, so i popped into second, rolled into the lift and let the clutch out, it immediately fired up and i clutched in before running out of lift.
I HAD previously disabled the battery saver mode on the hotgrips, and with a lot of stop/start at traffic lights in that London, i'll presume they brought the battery down a bit.
I let the bike run for 10 minutes in the car park with grips and headlights off, hopefully i'll have enough battery juice to start it, as there's no way i could push it UP the steep decline (its about 40degree's for 2 meters).  Might have to try and bump it in the flat car park.
I've now turned battery saver mode back on...
