The pickup coil is under $70, so it's not too scary. When the fail, it's usually heat-related: it'll run when cold, but the coil stops working when it heats up. Let it cool down, it'll run again. Lather, rinse, repeat...
I'm going on second-hand knowledge here. Most of the people in the T3 forum have described it as being like hitting the kill switch, but SWare has had it happen to him so listen to what he says.
It still sounds like fuel to me, but now it also sounds like the pickup coil has more than one failure mode...
A filler cap test you can try that I've seen recommended elsewhere: ride it for a little while with the cap open. Obviously, that poses a risk or 7, but it should tell you whether the cap vent is the problem. Doing a static version of the same test won't really work, as the bike won't be flowing much fuel.
By the same token, a static test should be able to tell you if it's the pickup: just let it run long enough for the fan to come on, & that should be enough heat to make a faulty pickup fail.
