so i put my battery on the charger over night and it didnt help, same issue i crank it, then it wants to start then i hear a rattle and electronics reset. i used a 12v jump start and it started the bike up. i took it for a ride maybe i needed to hit rpms for the alternator to charge. i pulled into a gas station and i told myself i wasnt going to shut it off but i forgot to pull my side stand i clicked it into 1st and it dies, i tried starting it but same thing...:( should i get a new battery now and do you guys know if the dealer will cover that since its a 1 year warranty? what else could it be? all i have wired to the battery is 2 LED light that i rarely use. Anyways to finish the story luckly there was a man that gave me a push start i got it to start and i blasted back home. Once i got home i shut it off and tried again and nothing getting fustrated a bit:(

Your battery should last longer than one year mate.
I would replace the battery and if you still have probs start checking the bikes charging system.
