Sounds very similar to what my Raider did a couple months ago.Bad battery,fried by voltage regulator putting out too much voltage.

AdministratorThe battery in there now is probably less than a year old and it still has juice because the front headlight still works.
Do I buy a new one anyway or look at a new voltage regulator?

AdministratorMy battery seemed fine.Trickle charger alway showed green light and bike would start fine.Like you,I was riding around for a couple hours,had turned off and started the bike several times with no problem.Pulled up in front of my garage door,shut the bike off,and when I tried to start it again….bang!
I hooked it up to the trickle charger,and it would end up going green to indicate charged….but would not crank up.
Got my mechanic friend to haul it to his shop and got it started with another battery.He the checked the voltage regulator and it was bad.Since the new regulator and battery,no further problem.I was lucky that he was able to get the battery replaced under warranty with his supplier.
Im not saying this is absolutely your problem,but I would start there as its a much cheaper and easier fix than replacing your starter.If it turns out you need a starter,heres a link for a company I do a lot of bussiness with that has good prices on them……Kentloop-single-reply.php

AdministratorAwesome, that sounds just like what’s going on. One last question, is there a certain voltage reg I should look for or will anyone do?
