Sounds as if your charging system is down. (not putting a charge into the battery). Connect a voltage ohm meter to your battery while motorcycle is running, you should see about 13.8 volts on the meter as you rotate the throttle open a little bit. If however, the meter goes down from...let's say 12 volts to about 11 volt's then at that point you will have fiqured out that your alternator is not working properly. Also, don't forget to check that the electrolyte level in the battery is up to the proper line. (you know the fluid in the battery itself). Do not put tap water in battery as this will ruin it completly! Put distilled water or electrolytic acid into it.
Good luck my friend,

Testimonial: "Hi, thanks i will give that a try, because that battery was dry, it didn't have any water at all. i think that going to buy a new battery. i will let you know if that work !!"
SOURCE: My bike was running perfectly and then just stopped.
check for spark... if there is a spark it could be a fuel problem... check that the petcock is free flowing.. also try spraying brake cleaner in the air inlet... if it starts up that means that fuel aint flowing thru the carbs.. give them a good cleaning
