Yep I agree with everyone on this- it is almost certainly a poor connection.

Mine went intermittent about ten years ago and the bike would simply die then pick up again when contact was made. Not good for your confidence while out riding.

When I looked into it I found that on switching the motor off via the key resulted in the relay arcing as the contacts opened causing them to pit over time-which I presume means some residual voltage is coming from the coils.

Oddly when the motor is turned off with the 'kill switch' it doesn't arc.
