Symptoms (typical 400/450 early FSE 2003) won't start off the battery (brand new) will start from running car though. When running will cut out after around 1 min of idle, then won't start again.
Pretty much everything checked, replaced, etc etc

Any good mechanic recommendations or suggestions please let me know.
Cheers !
Has the Throttle Position Sensor been reset (using the Motorbike Diagnostic Program by Magnetti Marelli)? That was my FSE400's starting and running problem. Worked great after that was done.
