Eh. Any of my vehicle engines will sometimes do that. I personally attribute it to a poor start, whatever that happens to mean to that particular engine.

By started do you mean it actually ran? And if so for how long? My 22 Street Bob has not started the first time I hit the button a few times, but it never actually ran and then died.

COULD have been a short transient sensor error. As a safety measure, the ECU is probably programmed to shut off the engine when a critical sensor reports an error. When the error disappears, the engine can be restarted.

On car, it is also typical to have a "limp home" mode, which the ECU activates when there is an important sensor error,but not one that will destroy the engine. That mode allows continued operation at very low rpm and throttle limits.
