Kite,
Congrats on the purchase. I'm impressed with how much you already appreciate the bike. As others have said, your fondness for the bike is likely to grow much stronger.
As for the cut-out, I agree with the other guesses - prolly a misplaced foot hit the sidestand and triggered the engine kill.
As for the hazards, I bet you hit the hazards switch at some point and it was just barely making contact. Part of your "fix" process included touching that switch again. I bet that part of the process removed the barely making contact condition and the flashing hazards.
As for the pain in the hand and the desire to adjust the bars - give it a month. The same advice was given to me a few years ago and I'm glad I listened. I find the factory default position perfect for me, even though I didn't think it was initially.
Regards.
