I had my suspicions that it was something to do with the fuel pump, particularly because since I parked it into the mound of dirt, the pump was making all sorts of strange noises.
I pulled the pump and gave the filter a good clean as it was filthy, but aside from a slight improvement it didn't really help. Once it was back in I took note of the volume of fuel it pumped out during its 4 second prime. According to the manual it should be over 72mL, I was getting anything as low as 50mL

A bit of research on ZX10R.net showed that there were a few others who'd had their fuel pump go and given how costly a new one was for them (AUD$300 in the states), they'd used an aftermarket Walbro GSS 342 fuel pump instead. It wasn't a straight swap but had solved their problems.
I checked out the cost of a new pump from Kawasaki Aus and they wanted $595 for it!!!!!

So plan B came into effect and a Walbro pump was purchased on ebay for the princely sum of $165 delivered
