If you bought new first get the battery replaced under warranty. Despite all the official advice I like to trickle charge a new battery before use as I have found they last longer that way. Then do all the above checks to ensure the bike leccy is all in order and there is no battery discharge when it is switched off and it is charging properly when running.
