Its just acting as if I never have enough power to start fully. It turns strong for a couple turns on a full charged battery then dies out all without starting

How long have you had the new battery, wouldn't be the first time that a new battery was useless

This is the second new one in two weeks. Since the first one wouldn't work I bought another. I just took that one back under warranty to see if it was just a dead cell or something. Maybe I still have a short in my wiring harness or my grounds are still not connecting well.

Thanks for the treasure map. It seems to be trying harder to start now. I think there was a problem inside my starter button. I'm gonna check out my plug coils too since they're in the electrical loop of it all. I have all these extra parts because I still have the motor from the original bike. I kept it hoping that would lessen my buying items for it. I changed the spark plugs out a month or so ago so that could be a suspect also. I'm trying to figure out what keep making it die on me. I'm thanking you for your continued assistance in the matter.

dont think its a parasitic amp draw because the battery would be flat over night

try this , with your multimeter in volts connect the red lead of the multi to the postive pole of the battery and the black lead of the multi to the starter motor terminal, crank the engine while watching the multimeter, if the voltage drop is less tha 0.5 v the positive circuit doesnt have high resistance

Hi, sorry for the delay. I tried it, Starter button with the red lead on positive battery and black lead on starter motor housing. I received a 1.23 volt reading when the starter button was pressed. That was on a fully topped off battery also.
