some times when a battery fails , it only fails to take a new charge , which means it has charge left in it !
so you start and ride round but as the battery slowly uses up that charge the bike starts to run rougher and rougher !
until there is no charge left and it dies
it does sound like this but
it could be as simple as a corroded connecter some where or if the noises you were hearing were mechanical
maybe alternator issues
I saw something about the magnets failing out.
I don't know much about gen 2's but then I don't know much about gen 1's either !
if you can borrow a battery and try it before forking out for a new one
