Battery was on a tender since it was removed and checked to be > 12 V.
Didnt touch the electrical system, except disconnecting fairing signal lights, tank fuel gauge sensor and front headlights.

Anyone have experience with this and have any suggestions on whats my next step?
Sounds like the battery just gave up to me too. If you are getting 12.0V you are only at 50% charged. 100% is about 12.7V. Doesn't seem like much difference, but it is.

At times a Tender will show "Full Charge" and the battery may even show 12.7V, but as soon as there's a load (hitting the button) it will drop off to nothing.

That sounds like what yours is doing.
