Did you say you replaced battery prior to this problem? Was that because it was dead? The reason I am asking is that my last bike did something similar. Slowed down on highway to turn. Upon starting to accelerate I could feel a distinctive vibration that hadn't been there before. I put it down to being a Harley. A day later went for a ride with a friend about 50 miles from home. When we came back to bikes. Mine wouldn't start. Battery was low. Because it was a carb bike we were able to push start it and off we went. But the engine light was on. To make a long story short , after testing and checking, i found the magnets on my charging system rotor had come loose and slid around to one side causing an off balance condition on crank and charging reduced to almost nothing. Just something to look at.
