Yeah, I think the ignition system is what I'll need to check now

Empty the fuel tank fully and look for rust inside as well. Always keep a quarter tank of fuel minimum in the tank,
I fill from only one HP station on the way to work. The quality hasn't been inconsistent as far as I've noticed.
Rust may be a possibility but if that's the case, would the fuel filter in the fuel tap not capture the rust?
Can you please also elaborate on the significance of maintaining a certain level of fuel in the tank?

I wash the bike myself with a pressure washer although only on the oily metal parts. However, your point is worth noting indeed. The overall quality of the wiring harness has always been a point of question for me so it's definitely something I'll be checking out.

The more the fuel in the tank, the more dilute the amount of impurities in it. If you're running on your last litre of fuel, the more chance of debris getting sucked into the fuel pump & damaging it. Also, a good habit to follow so that you never run out of fuel.

That's a really good point! I hadn't thought along that angle. Guess it will help if I maintain a better level of fuel in the tank then.
I recently opened the carb up to clean it and the float sump had fuel which was Coffee coloured I just cleaned it all out. Took out the fuel filter just before the carb and looked for debris but couldn't find any. I'm not sure if the fuel in my tank is also as impure as what I saw in the carb sump. I'm quite paranoid when I see even miniscule amounts of impurities in internal sealed systems.
If only fuel tanks had a way of being opened up completely for cleaning. Sigh!
