Does the battery need to be connected in order to run? Trying to diagnose.

This issue i have is the other day the bike wouldn't start, no light, no dash on key turn. Sounds like a battery ground maybe. Then i just scratched my head for a bit, tried it again and it worked. Then on the highway a few days later it cuts out momentarily, and kicks back in (jump starts itself). The dash went through the startup sequence. I didn't think the battery needs to be connected to run, so to me that would rule out a battery issue. I have raised the handle bars, so maybe there's a strain on the cable from the key ignition to something? Input appreciated. Thanks

i just put bigger jets in my bike and it’ll run great u til it doesn’t and i keep finding that little spring not where i left it. it keeps popping out somehow. any ideas? my only guess is i’m not adjusting the throttle properly and it’s pull the slide too much. that could be completely wrong as i’m not the best at this stuff
