Hi Andrew,
sorry to hear about your problems.
Your description of the problem does sound like a electrical / sensor issue, but I am not familiar with the BM system, there may be a sensor in the air box which is faulty or needs a clean. The fact it momentarily ticks over before stopping sort of confirms the engine management system is not receiving a signal as it should.
Triumph did have a problem with one model which allowed oil to enter the air box when it was dropped. If after this the bike was righted and started, the oil could enter the combustion chamber and bend a conrod. You had a lot of smoke after you started the engine just wondering if it could be a mechanical problem. I don't know of an easy way to check this, but keep it mind after you have checked everything else.
If you are having difficulty tracking the problem down, try and locate a good mechanic. When I was last in Thailand they had some good auto electricians and bike mechanics
