Now pardon the ignorance but why the battery? something with a sudden surge from me whacking the throttle wide open?
Interesting little tid bit to leave out there. Sounds like this bike is a big ball of fun in the electrical world.

The problems you describe, just fit a dying battery issue, hence why AMJ said it was obvious place to start. They don't last forever and need replacing.
