Your complaining about some simple fixes!!
Then check this connector! Takes five minutes.
Take it apart, spray it out with some contact cleaner and plug it back together! See if anything happens!
Otherwise, the hell with you...
Damn dude, why so serious? You are really taking somebody else's problem too personal...relax!

You mean you don't have your laptop in the garage with the bike working on it while people are typing in suggestions? Man we are all just waiting here clicking refresh to see what happens...

Hope one of the easy fix suggestions work out for you....

Ok, so he was either joking around or this issue kicked his a$$ so bad he just doesn't want another bike to win the same battle. Either way, not a big deal, at least he is trying to help.

It seems that around the 2007 model year there was a service bulletin for some of the voltage regulators...being erratic...Just a thought.

I took my bike to the dealer over the weekend for this exact issue. The service writer said they would check it out, but was fairly certain it was the stator going bad. I was still within 2 weeks of my factory warranty, so better now than later for me. Good luck!

Most likely the battery. Just pull it out of the bike, take it to any scooter shop and ask em to do a load test on it.
