Charging?
Charging?
Have you checked to see if the charging system is working?
Use any old voltmeter, first with the engine off...should be about 12.5 >12.7 Volts , with the engine running anywhere from 13.6 to 14.2 or so.
If thats' OK then the charging system is OK, then you can move onto a "Bad" battery. Remember these batteries are very small and don't usually last very long especially considering the on again off again nature of riding.

Re: Charging?
All good.
Before discarding your battery try a simple check....look at the fluid levels in each cell.
If even one cell is very low it won't be able to take or hold a full charge. Fill it with water (distilled, preferably) up to the designated fill line, and give it a trickle charge (max 2amps/hr) overnight, then see if it holds.
Recommend having the battery off the bike when charging it.

Just on the battery thing. Most chain owned outo stores have very sophisticated battery testing devices. Bring in the battery and get it tested for free. The voltage check is the best one at first. Read the Stator papers for a full diagnosis proceedure.

Sorry it's taking me so long to respone to all of the helpful tips. Injuryed my leg at work, back up and around and ready to ride. After checking everything else, I'm thinking it's the STARTOR, how much should one pay for A used one? Or should i go for A new? Price willing.[/quote]

Slow down...
Slow down...
I would SERIOUSLY consider replacing the battery before changing anything on the Bike itself. I have found that is almost ALWAYS the problem. If the battery is not a REAL brand name (Yuasa is good) and the EXACT model specified in the owners manual, I would invest in that first. Worst case scenario, you have a NEW battery to start the season with!
