Problem. Bike when fully charged will start all the time.. After a month here of starting and turning off It finally stop starting.... Battery dead. But when I pop start it. The bike runs fine. Any ideas what this could be at all. Really lost here. Iam going to test it today with a volt meter and see what the numbers are. Its also a brand new battery

Check your rectifier. I've heard of the connectors getting melted on those and then not being able to charge the battery.

It sounds like the charging system is malfunctioning. Could be a problem with the rectifier, the stator, or a wiring issue. I would bring it into a dealer and get them to check it out since you seem fairly new to bikes. Electrical systems can be complicated if you don't know what you're doing.

Or if you think you know what you're doing.
