Me asking this time , instead of answering other peoples queries.

CBf125 2014 plate, ,he engine stops annoyingly, at random, whilst riding. sometimes after a couple of miles , sometimes after only a few hundred yards. The bike has had a replacement pump ( Ebay special, now not fitted) which didn't make any difference, still died at random distances.

Once it has stopped it won't restart for 20-25 minutes, then runs OK again, as if nothing has happened. The bike always starts from cold everytime and will idle all day. The pump and tank have been cleaned out , a few little bits of shit from the filter , but it flows fuel well. It's had a filter fitted in the flow line , but no sign of ' tank residue'.
I'm beginning to wonder about the ECU , either a dry joint or corroded connection.
Tappets have been done and set wide. Plug seems ok , starts from cold ok.
When it dies , restarts and then dies after a second , sounds like fuel presure to me , is there a fuel pump relay ( like a car) ?

Any helpful suggestions ( 5000 words max please) much appreciated .

Does it die all of a sudden or splutter to a halt? The former suggest electrical problems whereas the latter is problem fuel related.

Ok I know TPS= throttle position sensor, but IACV? Yeah pump outside and there is a small inline filter for ' tank residue'. It's the twenty minutes waiting that does ones head in. It's either perfect , or dead.

Start easy: Try a new spark plug first.
I've had plugs do that - they seemed to short the leccy at temperature and were fine when cooler.

It does sound like a temperature related problem.

Just to eliminate possibilities, I presume it's not weather related as in raining when it happens?

I'd go with ECU. Seen electronics both on and off bikes that work fine when cold, but due to cr@ppy soldering etc, they die when hot. Looks like they're pretty cheap on ebay, wouldn't cost a fortune to rule it out ...
