Default Complete electrical failure

This is a good one. A couple of weeks ago I went to start my SV650K7, turned the key and nothing, no life at all. Bumped it off and all was fine for a couple of days, then the same again. After checking a couple of forums it appeared it may be a battery problem, so I got a new a new one. All was fine for a couple of days but now I have the same problem again so it wasn't the battery and I don't really know where to start. Anybody help?

you need to check if its charging properly , a new battery will be ok for a while untill it gets too low ....
