I had a similar problem. Twice. In the middle of the loom that comes 
down from the left (clutch) handle bar is a connection that has a 
tendency to come loose.

The next time it happens swing the bars full left, if it starts that's 
where it is. If it doesn't then try full right, if it starts that's 
where it is. If it still doesn't start, reach down inside the fairing 
and jiggle the loom. If it still doesn't start, it might be something else.

The solution: remove the loom and cut it open, remove the crimp 
connector and solder the connection. Seal it all up and you're good to go.

Other possible problems: bad sidestand or neutral switch.
