what you should do is get a voltage tester to test the battery to make sure its got 12 to13 volt range. w/ the bike running it will be around 13 to 14 volts. if it isnt @ least that many volts while running chances are you have a charging issue. something to try any ways. charge the battery fully w/ a charger and then try it. if it starts right up then you know that there wasnt enough volts.

a load tester for your batt will also work. and also a little more infomative than a voltage test. 7o bucks at a local napa store. well worth the money, u can use it to test any batt. my .02
