RE: battery keeps dying then works fine again
ya, my bike does the exact same thing ao.... I can ride for a while, turn it off and it wont start back up, but if it sits for maybe an hour it starts up like a champ.... never have figured out what is wrong with it, and also have tried new battery, didn't fix the problem.

My next guess is the starter.
When hot, the inernal resistance rises and then won't start. Does anyone think that trying to cool the starter with a water hose after a ride would screw anything up? I am not sure if a bike starter is different than a car starter, in a car the shaft/bendixy/thing can get bent and when hot expand enough to where it binds and don't slide out.
