just pulled my battery and put it on a charger because it was dead.put the battery back in and it still wouldnt start.so i roll started and went for a ride and it started and rode fine.after about 10 minutes it started to slow down and bog a litle bit.i pulled over kept it running and it idled ok so i kept riding then pulled over after about 5 minutes.turned it off and imediatly turned it back on and gauges didnt light up and would start.and couldnt roll start it.any ideas what might be wrong?

thanks for any help

Buy a new battery. Had a similar problem on mine. Left the bike over winter without being plugged into a trickle charger. Once its dead, its dead. No matter what people say you can't "revive" them

agreed on that mine happened this year as well, plus i have a scorpio alarm. once the battery hits flat dead its almost pretty useless. cuz might be alternator problem nto charging the battery. try a new batt and if that doesnt work then u know.

Agreed you need a new battery..... it happens alot with sealed batteries and especially on autos that are fuel injected....if they dont have exactly the twelve volts they act :nocontrol

is it odd that it will roll start without the battery connected but not with it connected.also the gauges go crazy while its running.the speedo will go up when i rev it.???whats goin on

did you get a new battery. and ive delt with a lot of electronics and i found when shit goes weird ther is a good chance there is a ground problem. and if you have it running without a battery that might be why. after it starts hook the battery back up and see if it goes away.but i wouldnt start it to much without a battery, it could cause more damage
