Angry Dodgy Electrical Fault

My 998s has developed a mind of its own. When im riding along the engine suddenly decides to switch itself off, I then have to coast over to the side of the road, switch the bike off and then on again and the bikes fires into life. This has been going on for the last year.

Recently a new fault has raised its head.

If I turn the key there is no noise from the fuel pump. After about 5 attempts the fuel pump decides to work and the bikes fires into life but when I switch the headlights on the rev counter, temp guage and indicators stop working - after about 5 minutes riding it all starts working again. Also with the lights switched off the rev counter only registers if the engine is doing more than about 5000 revs.

Its almost like there isnt enough juice to power all the instruments as well as the lights.

Could the faults lie with the rectifier or could it be a bad earth or a relay ???

Anybody got any advise, its doing my head in
