You might want to test the charging circuit as well. Usually, if you jump start a bike with a week battery it will keep running until you shut it off. Shutting off on it's own may mean that the charging system isn't producing enough juice to keep the bike running... would also explain the sudden dead battery.sigpic Mulholland Hwy Ride

get a good battery then check your charging system with a multimeter. the battery should have 12.8-13 Volts in it, then started up, it should go up to 14.7 volts at 4000+ RPM
