Will it run for longer if connected to another battery?

I’m honestly stuck for ideas. The bike starts up but cuts out after a minute and then won’t start back up. When it’s idling it goes up to 3k then sits at about 1300 before cutting out

So we've gone from coil to side stand switch to battery thus far
while ignoring advice and fault codes and continually trying to start
it presumably in the hope it will miraculously heal itself

In this rare moment of calm just after taking me tablets I'll add that
when something works, doen't work, then works again,
that's what we call an 'Intermittent fault'

Intermittent faults can be tricky, to a complete arseache to pin down and the worst thing to do is make assumptions at this stage so regarding any component part to be good or bad is foolish.
hence 'Test dont Guess'

Nobody can say for sure what the fault is especially at a distance but faulty/intermittent side stand switches are not an uncommon problem on bikes so it has be regarded as a possibility until proven otherwise.

Since we appear to be heading this way:

Have your tried Prayer?

Have you lit a candle in the Chapel?

Did you hang some garlic over the thresholds of your door?

Do you believe in Peter Pan. (You only have to really, really believe and you can fly.)

Or, follow the sound advice above.

Or invest in a cheap part and replace with new or working used. That can help eliminate intermittent faults.

Someone stick t' kettle on?

No need, I was going to suggest bent sub frame
but it's obviously fixed itself and no further problems are expected
