Default Time for me build to go to a shop

Welp I've given up having a bike thats less reliable than a influential teenage *****. I have replaced all electrical parts, stator rectifier and battery ( battery 4 times now) and the bike will not stay charged. I think my bad rectifier killed the first three and now the new battery is in with the new rectifier but I can't take this push starting bull**** anymore... Taking it to a shop and being like fix it. Also what this threads really about, why is my push start button no longer doing anything. I put the new battery in, hit the button and was like zoom going home. I get to my gfs house to pick something up hop on the bike like 45 minutes later and hit the button but no sound, not even a zap or click from the battery the headlights just get dim.. Any insight on the bike from hell?

try moving the main relay around and make sure the wiring isnt loose or shorted out.

Sounds like your stator is overcharging and your killswitch/starter button is finally dead. Both need to be replaced likely. On your rectifyer, is there any black on the wiring, especially the yellow cables. These are your ground wires, black and they are useless as a unemployed hillbilly.
