It could possibly be the CAS (crank angle sensor)

There was a whole thread in the VT section with several ppl having similar problem.

Search that forum and see if your problem matches.

I had a similar problem about a year ago, I replaced my dodgy look'n battery terminal clamps. Have your done a self diagnostic test yet ? :thumbsup:
