Ok, you’ve been having battery connection problems awhile. Loctite will not conduct electricity well so it ain’t helping. Have you tried a lock washer?
Question to the group, will the bike run without a battery?
The alternator should be putting out 13-15v @ 2000 rpm according to the manual. Seems to me if you’re running on the highway above 2000 you should be making enough juice to power the engine and lights and charge the battery, otherwise the battery would eventually run dead.
The exception would be if you had a bad battery with a dead cell or partial short leaching power.
An auto parts store can test your battery. A cheap voltmeter can be had for 20-30 bucks probly at that store to tell you if your alternator or voltage regulator is bad. The manual pages with the tests are attached to this post
It’s also hard to ignore
@phar2slo with similar symptoms caused by loose coil connections.
You’re on the road with limited tools, Occam’s razor applies, I think cover the simple stuff first. How does you air filter look? What about fuel filter? Fuel pump? What’s an easy way to check those items guys?
