I doubt it, but can't hurt. In the OP, you weren't specific as to HOW it died.

It is possible I might have hit something else there as well. The ignition barrel is a bit worn anyway, or it might just be the key, I usually need to give it a wiggle to get it to turn. The green ignition light on the dash never went out when it stopped though, could that still be an issue?
The green ingition light - do you mean the neutral light? If that's the case, you have a bike with a loom that's been buggered about!

Has it blown any fuses?

Stay in the inside lane, and be prepared to dive for the hard shoulder if it dies on you. And good luck!
