    Possible Honda regulator/rectifier problems, check with multimeter if battery is charging ok when engine is running.

    Check it is charging.... sounds like either a duff connection or the regulator / rectifier is on the blink.

    Have you got an alarm by any chance? - might be draining the battery.

    Charge level 12.6V at battery - fully charged 13.6V at Idle.
    14-15V at 4000 rpm.

    Reg recs are notorious on this bike
