Default electrical help

I have no power on my bike. I checked the fuses already and they are good. I changed the starter relay as well. I can jump the bike but it won't stay started unless the jumper cables are on.

Nope not unless it is started. It seems as if the battery isn't getting any charge

hmmmm, sounds like a dead battery. but if its good and charged up then that cant be it. will it stay running long enough to take a voltage reading on the charging system?

Hold on, clarify first before members can help.

1. You mean when you insert you key into ignition, turn it, you're getting nothing??? No light what so ever? All black out like a dead battery. This is correct?

1. Then you use a car to jump cable. Once connected, bike starts, cranks, and idles find. But when you disconnect jump cable, the bike shuts off. All blackout...no power. Right?

3. Did you check ground wire(-)

4. Did you check all fuses including the main.
