Lately I have experienced a momentary power interruption every now and then when accelerating from a stop. There is seems to be no obvious pattern to the issue, other than it happens when leaving a stop and when my speed is about 10 mph.  It happens perhaps every fifth ride and only lasts a for a fraction of a second.  I originally thought that my glove was slipping on the throttle grip and that was causing the problem.  But today I am pretty sure that my glove did not slip when it happened again. No big problem as long as it doesn't get worse. Today I was riding in light rain when it happened, but I did that yesterday and didn't experience the "glitch".  Anyone have any thoughts?   

You may wish to check the kickstand sensor. Sounds like it may be jostled by the weight of the kickstand moving during initial acceleration.

That is possible, but I doubt it. I checked the kickstand and it seems to have enough spring tension to keep that from happening.
