Yesterday I left the keys in the ignition which left on the headlight draining the battery. I jumped it and road it around the block for about 20 minutes but when I tried starting it immediately after that it was still totally dead. Not even a dim light. I had autozone charge it and they stated it was good. It started the bike just fine. Its a new AGM battery. So I'm thinking that the bike is not charging the battery. Could this be a simple thing like a fuze? Also there's no kick start so kind get screwed if the battery won't charge.
 
As I tell many people in your situation,check your connections and grounds.You should do like Drewpy says,but don't stop there.The charging system can be fickle,and work one time and not a few minutes later.Loose connections,dirty ground connections,etc will make an alternator not charge. lha
