Have you checked your battery. Put a multimeter on it or take it to a battery shop and have them test it with a load.

The ignition computer has a low voltage cut off. If the battery has lost enough voltage, the ignition turns off and you will hear one long beep lasting a few seconds. It could also be caused by any loss of power, like a bad connection or ground.

i have taking the battery to be tested they said it had a low charge but the battery was good so i recharged it. and i have also checked most connections all look good. i am taking the lanyard and ski to get reprogramed soon.

No that is not good. Does the motor spin freely with the sparkplugs out? In your orginal post, you described a siezed motor, probably duel to a fuel related problem ( lack of fuel ) and that probably caused the motor to sieze ( shut off while riding it ). Check your compression. It should be equal and around 135 to 140 psi in both clyinders.
