you've developed an earth leakage and over time the charge is drained (can be tested with a meter).

the chargeing system isn't making the correct charge(again easy to check with a meter).

you have either a short or resistance in the starting circuit creating greater load, this can be switches/connectors or the wiring itself, (easy one to check, direct feed from the battery and you'll hear if it turns the starter any faster than threw the normal circuit).

you did'nt leave the park light on did you

Cheers Mark

prob would help if i explained what happened this morning, nothing like given min info and expecting you to gess is there lol

any way. started the bike this morning when i left my house, got 6 miles out filled up with petty. and then it didnt wanna play bull. waitied for the aa used a jump pack started no probs.
