Always, when it starts up, it idles fine. Just the loss during riding. All cables are fine and tight. Battery is fine. It isn't the stator or rectifier. Took ignition/speedometer console off the bike and inspected everything. Looks good.
Anyone else have ideas?
I'll try some wiggling in the console tomorrow. That's about all I got.

Check all grounds... make sure they're clean and tight... a bad ground can/will cause all sorts of "glitches" that manifest themselves in several different ways...
