Default Dead Bike

I keep on having a problem with my bike, I have HID lights on the front and some light modifications on my fromt and rear turn signals, but every so often when I go out to start up my bike my battery is dead, is there some type of alternator on the bike that is not charging my battery as i ride or is to much juice being sucked out the battery and if so how can i fix this. I appreicate the help anyone can give me.

I have HID headlights, also a bright angel light for the middle light, flush mounted turn signals in the front, and a modified undertail from eurotails. Also if this is in any consideration that my turn signals wil not flash until I rev my bike around 4000 RPM. Don't know how to fix that yet.

same thing happend to me and it turned out to be that i didn't tighten the Batter's + and - bolts.
Might also wanna check all the connections for the signal seems like there's a short somewere.
Deffently double check all of the aftermarket things you put on your bike and make sure that they are on all tight and no connections are loose.

Check wires for a good connection. Also if youget a test light and turn everything off. Go through the fuse box untill you find one that is light up. If so you have something drawing your battery dead in that circuit. Which can in turn give your battery a dead cell. Autozone will do tests and charge it for free.
