Bike is great and bulletproof in the normal way, but

Whenever it has been left for a few weeks and is cold, if you rev it even a bit, from a crawl, it cuts out.

This stops after a nice long burst and also when the bike is warm, but even with fairly regular use, i.e tonight, squeeze the throttle lever to get a nice burbling grunt a few times and once that has been achieved - click/rattle and stall.

Once fully warm it is fine, and whenever this happens it is always mid throttle - i.e you twist your right hand whilst the bike is idle or at a crawl and -blip- its dead.

I know it is a minor thing as the bike is such a superstar in how it always starts and how it rides.

Weather? What causes this?
