May sound stupid, but check the battery connections. You may have a loose wire. Fairly common when shops service. (at least it is around me) They just get in a hurry and forget to tighten cables.

having had this happen to me....almost exactly....

take off your seat....check the battery connections...odds are one of your connections is loose and is popping loose when you hit a bump or coming to a hard stop....

i had just charged my batter and sort of just thrown my battery in to get home and said i would tighten the connection when i got home...well i forgot...took me a week of this happening til i figured it out...sure enough, opened er open and saw spark marks from where the connection was breaking and hitting....just reconnect the batter and make sure the bolts are tight....the bolts to connect the battery suck and if you don't pay attention, it could have felt like it was threaded and it wasn't.....and now it's loose...

try that...i have a feeling that would be it...

sounds like a loose connection.

check them all. at the battery, and from the battery.
