Have you checked/changed the plug cap and HT lead? Cutting out is a common symptom if the HT lead gets pulled tight.

although it could be poorly connected it's unlikely to being too tight as on the HPE the coil was moved to sit next to the starter and ecu so the ht lead doesn't move.

I'd be cleaning and reconnecting the ground wires from the engine to the frame. It sounds like you have a bad circuit when the weight of the scooter is on the rear wheel. Does it start and run ok when you are sitting on the seat and all the stands are retracted?
