MT-01 engine cutting out - 4 months in shop

Hi Guys,
My 2005 MT-01 has been in the work shop for 4 months mainly due
to slow part delivery from Yamaha.
The story goes like this:
Bike cut out and restarted about 4 times and eventually died.
Taken to Yamaha dealership had fuel pump replaced.
Still cutting out had fuel pressure regulator replaced.
Still cutting out had idle speed control unit replaced.
The mechanic has discussed this in detail with Yamaha Australia
(I have confirmed this) it now appears that a new ECU appears to
be the fix. One should arrive in about 10 days.
I have all the old parts and it appears they are faulty. Yamaha
think that the ECU will fix it and the other parts have been
damaged by either the faulty ECU or Fuel pump.
So far it has cost me over $3k and with a new ECU $4500. As we
all know parts for these bikes are ridiculously priced. Also I
have been told that if the ECU dose not fix the problem I can’t
get my money back, Yamaha policy.
I have been told that Yamaha Australia nor the mechanic can test
my old ECU.
I would be interested in any helpful comments. Has anyone had a
similar problem.
Thanks

Hey bud just a suggestion why not reflash your Ecu would be a
lot cheaper, , also have you checked the lean angle sensor?
Also have you tried using a spare key? It could be just a bad
transponder

Poor customer service mate try the kill switch as gorilla
suggests then get your money back for the ecu, i would have
thought by law they can only charge a restocking fee of say ? 5%

I am due to pick the bike up tomorrow, that being Monday here in
Australia.
They have fitted the new ECU and assure me that it will work.
Let you know how it goes.

Picked the bike up today after paying $1250 for a new ECU, rode
about a kilometre and the bike shutdown again. The bike is back
in the shop. I took a note of the odometer and it shows that the
bike was test ridden for 60km as the shop stated without any
problem.
Not happy

Incredible ...
I cannot remember any ECU failure being reported. It's probably
one of the most robust parts of motorcycles in general. This
definetely also applies to the MT-01, so I was very surprised
that they identified the ECU as being the cause of your
problems.
I hope they have checked the TPS ? Personally I haven't
experienced any problems with it, but I have seen quite a few on
various forums, with some of the symtoms you describe. You can
drive 60 km without any problem although you have a faulty TPS
...

:( F0ck'5 sake !
I do hope you can get your money back from the incompetent
dealer...!
TPS wouldnt cause the bike to shutdown I dont think..Yes, I
have suffered a failure after nearly 60K miles. It can often be
reset with a reboot but the issue is a physical breaking down of
the brass parts within so this is only 'symptomatic" anecdotal
report really..
ECU was a wild one. It ceretainly seems odd that all the
ancilliaries you list are faulty..That's a perfect storm if ever
there was one..Have you had the bits independently checked....?
Find a better garage before you need a second mortgage ! Yamaha
may not return your money but if the service the garage provides
isnt fit for purpose, you might have consumer protection of some
sort ?
