Just purchased a brand new battery because I assumed my old one was dead. The bike fired up a few times but noticed it started seeming weak the more the motor was turned over.

Finally the bike shut off while driving and would barely turn over when I tried to start it back up.. Hooked up jumper cables to it, with a running jeep on the other end and almost got it fired up, but quickly barely turn after every attempt.

Everything was hooked up correctly, I haven’t tested with a voltage meter to see if the stator is bad but am I correct that these are signs of a bad stator? I assumed it works the same as a car with an alternator?

I did get the bike finally fired after waiting for a very long time. Rode it around, mind you my lights were on, and if I stopped it idled for a couple seconds then died and the battery was back to how it was.
