Dies after idle and hesitation throttling up

Hey all. During the colder months my RX3 would sometimes start, idle for a moment and then die. Sometimes it was hard to get started after but most times would start and stay at idle after first or second attempt. It's warm out now and it started exhibiting the same behavior. But this time seems harder to get it to start and stay at idle. Talked to Gerry and thinking maybe a voltage issue? Anyhoo, I dont have a volt meter but am borrowing one. I did re-tighten my battery terminals and was able to start the bike 4 times in a row with out dieing after initial idle. This morning it died once and then seemed to be ok. I also feel like at around the 5-6k rpm that I feel a slight hesitation as I throttle up thru the gears. I dont hear an engine pitch change, just a hesitation. Any feedback appreciated. Thx!!
