Help! Bikes not holding a charge

I went to go for a ride the other day and the battery was completely dead. I jumped it and rode it for about 10 minutes and stopped to talk to a buddy. When I tried to start the bike to leave, it was completely dead again so I jumped it again to get it home, only this time the bike would bog down and barely made it home. I haven't had a chance to pick up a manual yet and between work and classes I really don't have any time so I've been thinking about just taking it to a shop, but I thought I would check with you guys first to see if you had any ideas.
If I can get the bike to start (jump start) it will idle for awhile and will throttle up but then lose rpms and die.
TIA guys!

Most likely a bad rectifier or bad battery.
If you want to figure it out yourself, get a multimeter and go follow the steps on this chart
