So, i messed up and i jump started my bike using a truck...

now my issue it seems like the battery wants to die, but i went and purchased a new battery so i know that's not it. i have full power to everything what happens is when i press the ignition button the bike with begin to crank then die off as if the battery is dead, and randomly will gain more power as if the battery is charging then it dies again, It does not get enough juice to turn the engine.
I touched the ground on the battery and it was hot to the touch, the positive stayed cold.

Im not too sure on if its the rectifier, or the starter anyone have any suggestions i really really don't want this to be a costly mistake..


thank you in advance.
