OK
So following on from the facebook thread.....
When the side stand is down it wont start unless you pull the clutch lever in, does it stay running when you release the lever?
If so, I would suspect that this is working as it is designed to. Can others with an FZS1000 confirm?
Many bikes I have had you had to pull the clutch in to start the bike. Doing this removes the drag of the gearbox from the starter motor making the bike easier to start.
If it cuts out when you release the lever then you have an issue (assuming it is in neutral). Putting the bike into gear will cut out the engine if the side stand is down. They are designed that way and are the reason for the side stand switch.
