Thanks for your replies Just had some friends who know have a look. They found that the air box and filter was full of oil... They tried adjusting the idle screw but that didn't help either

It does restart, so don't think its spark plug but same thing happens.

It starts, the revs go to 2, then after about 5 seconds it goes down and cuts out. If i try and rev it, it revs, can go as high as 6 but as soon as stop it cuts out. Also cuts out when try and put it into 1st, as release the clutch. It worked fine on Saturday. Maybe rain has caused an electrical fault? Some forums said it might be a sensor.

Hello, I am also a new yamaha rider. I bought a 2009 ybr model last week. I rode it for the first time on Saturday and everything was great. When coming to use my bike this morning the bike started but then cut out after a minute or so. I think this model has an automatic choke so wondering if there is anything obvious I can try to get it going? When I bought it I saw that the speedometer light wasn't working so was going to look into that- do you think an electric fault could relate to the bike revs cutting out? Was really looking forward to riding and also got a yamaha because they were known for reliability to get to work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Zoe
