Angry Electrical problems on XT660Z Tenere!!

Hi.

I have a XT660Z Tenere 2011 with +-7400Klm on it. I am having problems with the bike cutting out. It started at around 7000Klm. It starts, I ride it for +- 11Klm then the orange motor warning light comes on. After a minute or two the dash completely blacks out, with all warning lights off. Lights, and flickers etc still work, but not the dash lights. Then a minute or two later the bikes speedo drops to zero. Then a minute or two later the bike cuts out. If I stop the bike when the orange light comes on, I can not start it again at all. The starter solinoid starts buzzing, as if the battery is flat.
This has happened three times now.
After standing for some time and fiddling with battery and terminals, the bike again starts as if nothing happened, only to do the same pattern again.

I took it to YAMAHA, and they said it was either a flat battery (Which they charged) or the TFI unit, which they originally fitted, and have now removed, but still the problem persists.

Has anyone had similar problems? Could it just be a faulty battery?

Thanks!!!
