Here's every point i've got.

1. Bike would start, rev out fine but once in gear and revs applied it would cut out inside 2 seconds

2. once the start button was pushed it would try to start, die off including the dash and then reappear and fire up to life.

3. I tried testing it with the tank cap open to see if there was a fuel blockage.

4. My fuel light was on but only had been on for 5 miles. I didn't refuel until after i'd played with the lead and rode another 2 miles after it.
One thing I would check would be the battery leads. I had a similar problem only to find that the +ve lead was slightly loose
