Now for my results.... part 2 - I am almost certain it is the Run/Off switch. When I switched it back and forth quickly I noticed a delay in the FI light and the fuel pump coming on.... Sometimes it did nothing. Sprayed some RP7 in the joint and flicked the Run/Off switch a million times so the RP7 would get in.... And hey presto the FI light comes on instantly when I flick the Run/Off switch Off to Run - over and over I have tried it. My guess is the huge dust storms we had got in there somehow......
Will update again if it does it again 
Varium, I have photo's from every angle if it comes to that.... thanks mate!

If you think it may be the kill switch then i'd take 5 minutes to pull it off the bike and clean it out real good. Then you'll know for certain it won't act up again. If left alone it could develop slug/mud inside there and give you trouble down the road. Would be an easy thing to check out and give you peace of mind. If you folks have liquid electrical tape down there you may want to coat everything inside the housing that is an exposed metal surface to be sure it doesn't happen again......that is if the housing was messed up with dust to begin with.
Something that i would want to do would be to pull the top of the air box and have a look inside. If there was enough wind to drive dust into the kill switch i can't help but thing a whole big mess got into the air intake. At the very least the filters could be mucked up. And if its worse you'll want to get inside the airbox asap to clean it all up before something else starts happening with the bike that could be contributed to a messy airbox. You'll also want to make sure the oil overflow/pressure bottle is hooked up to the under side if the airbox, or the bottom hole on the airbox is plugged off. If there is a tiny leak in the seal down there you could have sucked up a mess of dust.
If these dust storms are fairly common it may be a good idea to get a plug of foam for the intake. You can cut out the correct shape so it seals on the inside of the intake to keep from having to worry about going through all this every time i storm comes through. The seat foam we use on our bikes would work or even foam used for kayak seats will work great and is easy to find. Hell, anything you can put over/into the intake opening that isn't very porous will work.
