Well ****...

Battery keeps dying out while riding and then coming right back on. It dies for a second RPMs drop and then goes right back to normal very intermittently. But went to ride this morning..started slow...but started and then rode for about 15 seconds and it completely died out.. now power now. HELP.

Check connections starting at the battery and working out. Basic electrical 101. Once you'e moved past the simple stuff, start working up the ladder. Like the ignition switch.

Well, you know what the problem is, check the battery. Connections, load test, replace. Beyond that, it could be something else but you may as well start with the easy stuff.
