Sounds like the ol' fuel starvation prob, and the reason the bike wont start up right after is because the floatbowls are dry and you need to put the fuel selector on Prime to refill the floatbowls. Try running the bike in Prime to (hopefully) prevent this from happening again. Just remember to switch it to On when you stop.

Battery/charging system?
Do you have a voltmeter?
With the engine running at about 5k rpm the voltage at the battery terminals should be 13.5 - 15.5 volts.

The Starter switch doesn't work (http://gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12788) thread should give you plenty to chew on.
Maybe John Bates could break out his famous, condensed "Starting Circuit" diagram about now.
