Sounds like the electric supply of your bike has a problem.
The most common is "the thing that takes the current from the generator
and converts it to steady 12V current to charge the battery and operate
the electric circuits of your moto".

Does the motor stop? Sounds again like that "thing".

Check the current while operating your moto. If by throttling up you get
a big rise in current, much more than the usual 12~13V, then it is that
thing and it will need to be replaced. If not, it is probably the
generator itself, or a bad battery. Whatever the case, you will probably
have to change battery anyway since it must have suffered from the
situation.
