need some advice

[phatts]

so my bike is an 06 rappy 350. i bought it new and it ran fine for quite some time. but now it seems that the battery doesn't want to stay charged. also when the battery is not fully charged the bike will not start off the starter and only directly off the solenoid. any one that give me some advice on this it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

oh p.s i have already changed the solenoid and have gotten no better results

Does it start better when you jump start it off another 12 volt vehicle or a battery charger?

It sounds like you have a bad battery to me.
