SV 650 Fuel light - SV650.org

Today, I collected my bike after getting a new clutch fitted. When I tried to move off from traffic lights, I stalled the engine and couldn't get it to restart. In neutrl when I turned on the ignition, I heard the fuel pump prime and the dashboard cleared. However, the red light next to the gear indicator was on, I checked it wasn't in gear, no fault code on the dash, kill switch off. I tried with the side stand up, down with the clutch in, in gear, in neutral. Nothing worked. Then 30 minutes later I put the side stand up again and the red light went out and the bike started.

Does anyone have a clue what was going on here? just in case it happens again.

Telling us what bike this occurred on would be handy here...

If you look at my signature you will see that it's a Naked SV650 K3.
