    Take a multimeter and first check your battery. Then crank the bike and check the battery again. With the bike running you should get about 13.3 volts at idle and see the reading increase as you throttle the engine up. If the volts don't go up when you rev the bike then it isn't charging. Most common reason is worn brushes in the alternator. takes about 30 minutes to replace them.
