Check if the charging system works ok. At idle with lights off, you should see 13.5-14.5V on battery's terminals and 0.5V less with high beams on, at idle speed as well as at 4000rpm. Use a fresh good verified battery to take the readings.
Sounds like you have a bad stator or rectifier. If you like to work on your own bike get a repair manual it will give you several test you can do. Charge the battery to full charge, take a volt meter and put in on the battery leads pos to plus and neg to ground. start the bike and watch the meter it should be putting out over 13 volts if it is not have your rectifier and stator checked by a pro. also check the compression valve cable it may be out of adjustment . I had one of those bike for 13 years a great bike
You need to accelerate very gently while you go round the corner. This sounds wrong but even if you hold the throttle in the same position, physics dictates that as you go round the corner you do actually accelerate as you go round a corner at a constant speed (velocity/direction/speed - look it up if your interested!). So on the approach to any corner, you need to: - 1 Position yourself and the bike for the approaching bend, toward the right hand side of your lane for left hand bends and vice versa. 2 Adjust your speed to one you can quite happily ride around your bend (Slow down by easing off the throttle or appling the brakes) 3 Once at the right speed, (off the brakes) select the right gear for the speed your doing. 4 GENTLY apply some throttle to stop the bike slowing down anymore. 5 Tip the bike into the corner by gently pushing on the left bar for left handers or vice versa keeping the throttle still so that you hold your speed through the corner. 6 As the bend opens up (becomes a straight) gently apply more throttle as you release the pressure on the bar and stop turning.

Good luck with your riding and enjoy!
the battery may seem ok, but it's obviously discharging itself or not charging during riding.
Try this...charge the battery with a battery charger. disconnect the charger, and put a volt meter on the battery. Start the bike. Rev up to 2000 RPM. If the voltage is not HIGHER than it was before starting the bike, there's something wrong with the charging circuit. If it IS charging, turn the bike off, and disconnect the battery overnight. If the bike will not start the next day after reconnecting the battery, the battery needs to be replaced.
If the battery is NOT charging at 2000 RPM, the charging circuit is bad, and is likely what is draining the battery overnight.
Maybe this will help. This is a common problem that I have had with my GV250. Almost the same bike mechanically by Hyosung.
If the battery is low on charge and you are lucky enough for the bike to start. As per normal when first started it revs higher because the bike is cold, this turns the alternator fast to give you the electricity you need to keep the bikes computer working properly. Bike will warm up and revs drop down, alternater not turning as fast, not as much electricity being made. Bike will either stall or rev up and down irradically to try to produce its own electricity. This will occur when the battery charge is low and bike is at low revs, for example when you slow down for traffic or you stop.
If this is your problem. To resolve it when you are out on the road, keep the revs up, twisting your throttle gently when you are going slow or stopped. Give the bike a good long run on the open road to give the battery some charge from the alternator.
Make sure your battery is maintained. If you dont use your bike for a while it will lose charge just sitting there doing nothing. Give the battery a good deep cycle charge or take the bike for a good long open road ride.
Seems you are running entirely off your battery.
Indications are a suspect lighting or source coil is shorting. Resistance test will show discrepancies. Data is available on-line, search technical/electrical manuals from Clymer or Haynes. An auto shop sells cheap multi-meters than you can use. It is a stationary test and will identify individual component problems. As rectifier/regulator, cdi box and wiring/switches/connections all have an effect. These test are outlined within these publications. Cheers (and don't get caught)
Sounds like you are not getting a charge from the alternator. You need to check battery voltage with a meter with the engine off, key off. Then again with it running, and the voltage should increase. If not, it's not charging.
if when your bike gets to riding temp. and, you turn it off; and, then restart... if the crank speed is slow replace your battery if your crank speed is normal replace your ignition module (batteries can be recharged and, measure 12 volts and, still be weak) Amps can fall off (amps are what give the battery muscle to spin your starter ) ignition modules can be affected by heat and fail to maintain spark
