Kev is right. I had a new battery in my Ambo that was installed and never tested. Turns out it had a dead cell from day one!! Bob

To add to Patrick's ideas, Always start with a know good batt. don't assume it's good 'cause it's new. Probably is ok, but.....
I would also check your charging output.
Does it slow start, after riding for a while? If it only happens after sitting maybe you have a drain on the battery.

Inspect and clean ALL wiring connections in this circuit. Use good dielectric grease on reassembly.
Inspect your timing. Too much advance at idle can slow down and stop a starter motor.
Test another starter in this bike. Consider disassembly and cleaning of the starter and to ensure there are no burned up armature wirings.
