The dealer warned me that it could stall because its new.
so yeah, it stalled... no problem.... BUT.. and it wouldn't start.
I had to stop, turn of the power and wait 20 seconds before it would start again.
is this because I tried to start it when I was still in gear and rolling?
To me it sounds more like the FI system is not doing its job.
ps. the bike was warm.

When you say it wouldn't start...do you mean it turned over but didn't fire, or nothing at all happened when you pushed the button?
Reason I ask is, for a while I couldn't get my Tenere to start at all if it was in gear - push the button and nothing happened. Which was odd, until I realised it was actually just the position of the clutch switch that was a bit off, meaning it wouldn't start with the clutch pulled right in, but if I let it back out 5mm it would.
If it's turning over but not firing, then it is obviously nothing to do with that. But if it's not turning over at all then it might be worth taking a look at the clutch switch.
