Well, for the sake of getting back on the road ASAP I just took the bike to the shop. Of course the weather just turned into sunny/blue skies damn it!
The guy at the shop mentioned it could be the regulator, so I hope it's that and not somethine dumb like the battery
I'll let you know what it turns out to be, thanks for the help

So...
Got a call back from the shop and it's the regulator that's malfunctioning. they said it wasn't charging once the RPMs reached a certain level so the battery would drain.
They also said my battery is on it's last legs and they want to replace it. I said WTF ok just do it I want my bike back
(prices in CDN)
Battery $155
Regulator $180
So plus labour and i'll be looking at around $500
Argh...
I could probably get a better deal by getting the parts on ebay but they have them in stock and I don't want to wait.

if I was a little more knowledgable I would have tested the regulator. If something like this happens again I'll be more likely to find the problem.
Lesson learned!
