I found my issue to be related to the controller temperature. I created a shroud for the controller out of simple sheet metal, painted it black, and never looked back. It kept the temps on par with the motor and I didn't get any cutting out or odd behavior after that.

I still need to fabricate something to keep water out of the 35 pin connector though as I suspect that is what is causing other issues in serious downpours.

I was getting 68 miles per charge at 60-65 mph on a 2013 SR 11.4 (10.58 nominal) and I wasn't charging at work at the time. It was still enough to get to work, 27 miles away, and get home with 18% to spare.

Soon the bike will be streamlined for winter ;)
