Worth a check. The cable from the battery that goes down to earth/ ground on the engine casing, right hand side of the bike at the back of the engine, at this point they can get a form of white powdery corrosion where the steel bolt and the alloy engine cases join (some sort of electrolysis) take the bolt out wire brush the bolt and WD the the bolt hole in the engine case. Make sure the circular cable connector is clean as well. Only take 10 mins tops and if it makes no difference you have at the very least eliminated poor grounding.
If it is corroded badly and no connection it has the same outcome as not having that earth or ground lead attached to the battery. Good luck.
