Rick,
You are witnessing X battery syndrome. At least that is what you are describing.
The frequency of vibrations our X's produce, make the battery connections come loose. All 3 of our have done it one time or another.
Not so long ago, I got where I was actually soldering the cables at the bolt to the posts. It worked pretty good.
Jamie/Marty sell a "no memory" battery cable, that is a bit pricey, but the problem goes away.
For now..... pull your battery cover, and tighten those bolts back down good and tight. Don't use lock tite, as it won't conduct current.
If this isn't the problem.... please come back we'll help!!
