alternator/battery/charging related problem

So i was leaving work late last night. As usual, i warmed the bike for a few minutes, everything looks fine so far. I jumped onto the bike, and as soon as I rev it up in the first gear, the headlight went off. I rode for another 10 seconds to see if the light came back. No luck, so I stopped, turned off the bike and checked the connection. Everything looks secured.

Tried to start again, turned key to "ON" position, no lights were on, I couldn't start it. However, as soon as I push the bike, the lights on the dash came back and went off if the bike stopped. I was able to get it running again by pushing start. I rode it for a minute, the headlight kept flickering, and went off if I didn't give gas. After that minute, headlight stayed on. I was able to ride it home without any problems after that.

Any ideas what causing this issue? I am thinking it's more like grounding or charging related problem. Oh, the bike is a 08 Kawi 250R. Sorry about the long read, thanks.
