Remember guys, he said new battery won't keep a charge. I'm going to assume the old battery was dead, that's why you put a new one in the bike. My idea was to make sure he properly charged the new battery first. If so, then you need to start looking for what is draining the battery or not causing it to charge. I like the starter wire idea. But, if it's turning the motor over at normal speed, and it won't start after you charged it and it's been a few days, then I would change or check the plug first.
NOT STARTER WIRE, STATER WIRE. MY PROBLEM WERE THE TWO OR THREE WIRE GOING INTO THE STATER. ITS HAS A PROTECTIVE SLEEVE OVER IT, BUT THE FACTORY WAS CUTTING THEM TOO SHORT SO THE WIRES WOULD RUB ON THE COVER. SHORTED STATER WIRES WOULD LET THE BIKE START ON A FRESHLY CHARGED BATTERY, BUT WOULD NOT KEEP IT CHARGED, EVENTUALLY THE BATTERY WOULD GO DEAD, AND THE BIKE WOULD DIE.
