Thanks!
So, an update on this.
Out for a ride yesterday and after covering about 80 miles the engine started to cut out. Only when at idle though. I've taken a recording of the noise experienced as described in OP as wheras before it only happened at speed, this time it was happening whilst stationary.
When I (finally!) got home i thought i'd check the air box due to the weird suction noise as suggested above; the air filter was a state so have ordered a new one and I checked the spark plugs (well, i check #1, access bit of an issue with the others). It was black so it looks like the engine is running rich at the moment.
Got new spark plugs so I'm going to try the radiator in change I've seen on here and once the filter turns up, will change that. Hopefully that sorts the problem. So far as I know the engine is standard so no reason to suspect anything else. Unless there's a problem with the FI. Have contacted Yamaha to check for the TPS recall issue as well. Pending a reply from them having provided VIN and Reg.
If not will post the recording of the engine noise and hopefully some kind soul can provide insight
