Hi ChezneyCamden, my first guess would be ignition coils, as Marcel said. They are easy to swap.
Simon says it may be side-stand switch or clutch switch, which are also easy enough to replace.
If my headlights are ON, it will not let me start my bike. If the side-stand goes down while engine running, bike will turn off.
I’d be suprised if the STATOR is not working but it’s possible. The original stators are pretty good.
The chinese aftermarket Stators are not good – their rubber GROMMET DOES NOT stop OIL from pouring out of the stator cover.
I have 2x old, used original stators and they work fine. The NEW chinese one caused me a lot of frustration.
IF the bike hasn’t RUN for a long time, put it IN GEAR (1st or 2nd) then rock the bike very slightly forwards bit by bit – just little, light pushes.
This will turn the engine over bit by bit & help lubricate it a bit for when you do start it.
Very easy to do, takes only 30 seconds, won’t get your hands dirty but it’s good to move the pistons up & down if they haven’t been.
Good luck.
