If it's dying that quick because the battery went dead, it might be a charging problem.
Get a MultiMeter:

Make sure the battery is charged, and start the bike.
Put the multimeter leads across the battery terminals (red to +, black to -)
You should be getting 13-14 volts, with the voltage increasing as you rev the motor.
If not, either an alternator or voltage regulator problem.
IF the battery is going flat in that time WITHOUT the motor running, you have a "parasitic" drain somewhere, that is draining the battery when it's off.
