As it was running then I'd suspect something in the ignition cut-off system isn't working.
First thing to check would be the side stand and clutch switches as follows:

1. Main switch on and engine stop switch on 'Run'
2. Transmission in gear and side stand is up
3. Pull in clutch lever and push 'start'
4. Engine will start - clutch switch is OK
5. Side stand is down - engine will stall.
6. Side stand switch is OK

P3-19 of the Owners manual refers.

Most likely failed component is the pickup coil. Look for the 2 pin connector under the seat near the rear of the battery. Unplug and measure resitance. Should be 80-120 but if it's reading anything it's probably ok.
