Make sure the Negative cable on the battery is secured tightly!!
Check the simple stuff first!

I used to have exactly the same problem on my old GZP900 Ninja.
I finally tracked it down to the wires leading to the back of the fuse box, so while the fuses looked ok, there was a "popsicle" wire behind them. Usually, a bit of a push and tug on the fuse box resolved the problem... for the next few miles anyway.
Dunno if this will help you at all, but try wiggling all the bits of wiring you can get your hands on and see if it makes any difference while yoiu have the bike running. You may well have a bad joint or a break within a wire. I'd give this a shout before I spent loads of money on parts that you are not sure may be defective.

Sidestand. If your sidestand switch is going or the spring that holds the stand up is old, the bump might let the stand come just barely off the switch and kill the motor for a second.
Kill switch. These are notorious for corrosion, but they're bery easy to take apart and clean.

on the older hondas the switch would get corroded where the wires plug into the switch--might be worth removing wire plug at switch and clean terminals.

i think it was the fuses, that was the only thing i really did, i took them out and put them back in, works fine now.
