It is my understanding, per one of the Web boards, that due to the vibes the batteries intermittently contact registering a weak battery and shut down.

Todd,
If you're not using the grip heater circuit, you could tap into that.  
The 60CS shouldn't draw too much power, so you could tie into the 
switched leg of that plug if you wanted it to be controlled by the 
ignition switch.  I did the same to power my comm. system, allowing me 
to put the unit in the tankbag rather than under the seat.

FWIW, mine's an 03 ST.
