Make sure to have the battery checked out completely. Dying cells or poor internal connections can produce these issues.

Paint the back of the blade Flat Black

Or best of all. A good 05 frame from the same dealer as described in several other frames. Free shipping really helps...

Purchased my filters from Messick's and fluid at the local dealer. Lowest cost over all. Messick's is great for parts and fast delivery.
