i think if you have run out of all other options then a new battery, remember its winter and it kicks shizz out of battery.

Cheers. I have already dropped it off at mechanic to look at, and they called to say battery, etc all looked ok. perhaps the 8-9V occured once (was momentary, and I'm jumping at everything at this point)...but I will check again and let them know.
I checked the STV's a second time before taking to shop, and they seemed to function ok but bike still cutting out.
Thank you guys for your help. The feedback I got from shop, was potentially some issue with valves and they're checking that now. The 16k service wasnt done (and I had no idea this was needed till now - although seeing there's a bit of debate on that) so hoping its the right idea and its not too expensive.
