My first thought is a bad battery, as I haden't started the bike for about 10 days when it first "barely" started weakly. Started it two more times after only riding about a mile between each time, third time was very very weak, and almost left my stranded at a gas station.
Got the bike back home, tried to start again the next day, and it would turn over a bit, but wouldn't start, and now it's not turning over.
However, my question is the headlights and all instruments remain illuminated, does this sound like a weakening battery?
I want to attempt a jump start, is it safe to jump start from a car using positive battery terminal and grounding to frame with black jumper cable?
