Any slight bump in the road would cut out the bike.
I'd get off put it on the sidestand and it would, obviously, start straight away.
Try putting the stand down next time it cuts out and see what happens.
That was one of the first things I tried, and ended up just bypassing the stand switch just to rule it out, but the problem still came back later on.
It was at its worst on very cold nights in winter for some reason, but randomly had trouble starting the bike all year round.
When it used to backfire outside my work it used to frighten the life out of the receptionist. :lol
