Check the battery cables to see if loose or dirty connections. Pull battery and have
it load tested.

Check the connections first.
How old is it? Older than two years I would just get a new one.

As said above, make sure it has clean tight connections. A bad battery wouldn't occassionally get better on it's own.

+1
also check your starter cct, and the cable on the starter.
If it continues, trry a new relay for the starter, as it may be the problem if the bike doesn't even try to enguage the starter.
