I bought my first bike this weekend, bike runs great and will start fine at first (i leave it on a battery tender). The issue is if i ride it for about 30min, shut it off and try to start it again it has nothing, not even a sound from the starter along with no lights or dim lights if any. I recharged the battery, started it up and pulled the terminals off to see if it would stay running under the stators power, which it did. Im no expert at electrical or how the charging system works. If anyone has an idea of what could be wrong or what to test that would be great!!! Keep in mind that i am very new to bikes so my knowledge of where things are is limited. I found a manual but its not very detailed.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Get a voltmeter and check the voltage at the battery when the bike is running, it should be around 13 to 14 volts. Then test your battery with the engine off, a good battery should be between 12.5 and 13.5 volts. If your battery is below this and your are getting 13 to 14 v while running it means you need a new battery.
