I would guess your battery is getting tired. Otherwise, you have a charging system fault, but I doubt it. If it was a charging system fault, the bike wouldn't run after a while.

Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon.

Will is probably right - It is most likely the battery. It could also be early signs of stator failure. If one or two of the winding poles is starting to fail, it can cause pulsing in the generation of electric current.

Good luck getting it sorted...
