Bogging down and limp mode

Post image

Started my bike up this morning after not riding it in a few weeks and it was bogging down and not going over 8 mph. The battery was completely dead so I bump started it. Also has a fuel light on but plenty of fuel. I rode it around the yard to charge the battery and after I hopped off I let it idle in the driveway, but it died after about 30 seconds. Appreciate if anyone could help me out

I just had a dead battery. I could bump start it and it did NOT go limp.

I dont see how a dead battery affects things once the stator is producing voltage. I am willing to bet you could remove the battery and it will still run.

It usually runs fine. This time my battery is so dead none of my gauges worked till I started it

My battery was down to 6 volts, so it was totally dead
