Fitted a new battery 1 month ago and yesterday bike stopped.checked charge rate and found no charging voltage.
SOURCE: my battery is not charging when bike is running (gsxr 600 k6 )
When you put a voltmeter across the battery terminals, you should get >13.5V (typically) with the engine running.
If less than this then your charging system is faulty and your battery will not charge.
See this personally authored thread for a diagnostic guide on how to determine whether you have a problem with your stator or Rectifier/Regulator - inlcuding some cold resistance checks you can do on the R/R to determine if it is shorted.

It was written initially for Triumphs, but applies to ANY 3-phase motorcycle charging system.

If lights dim when trying to start,Battery is to weak(may have 12 volts but not enough amps)
Bike dieing when removing power from jumper says the lighting coil on the stator plate is bad and this could also have killed the voltage regulator,Which would kill the battery by over charging it.
Hesitation and carbon smell could be from a non firing cylinder.
So,Take the battery and have it load tested (free at most auto part stores)
Check for power from the lighting coil on the stator
Replace the voltage regulator.

You have either a starter relay or the solenoid is stuck. Since I don't know what make the starter is, that's about all I can tell you. Try putiing the bike in high gear and rolling it back and forth and turn the engine just a bit. Sometimes that "unsticks" a starter drive gear. Might work. Good Luck!

Did you charge the new battery? Did you check the new batteries electrolyte? I have seen many a new battery come off the shelf, dead! Get one of those floaty ball things and check the electrolytes in the battery, every cell, if one cell is dead, it is no good. The voltage sounds a little low but it should charge up. I don't know what size your battery is, but my old sportster had a car battery in it. Never had a problem. But never left the house without a screwdriver either.

If you are getting 13volt output and it revs and gets 14.5volts it would appear to be charging. As you would get a drop in voltage if it were not. Stator is there for working. Check your voltage relay as it may be sticking which would cause it to run on system and not be sending charge to battery. Poor ground would also keep battery from being properly charged
