A friend of mine rang me with an issue on a BMW R1150GS he was working on, it was very similar to your problem, might start and if it did start it would not rev, then when it would run it would be fine for a few miles then stop and not restart. It had a good spark so we brought it back to the garage and it started. :groan
I spent a day with him and we checked the injectors and set up throttle bodies. It started and ran fine, we then balanced the throttle bodies and was running as smooth as a button. It then misfired and stopped, would not restart, this time it had an intermittent spark.
We took the pickups off his own bike and fitted them. We had tested the pickups at the start and ruled them out because they tested fine
With the different pickups in the bike started and ran like a dream, he got a new set of pickups, replaced them and bike has been d
running perfectly since.
Long story, but might be no harm in checking the connection on the pickup and the condition of the stator and ensure the pick is bolted on to the stator cover properly
