What do you mean when you say your battery died while you were riding? The bike started up fine, then it died while you were riding it? How far did you go before it died? How did you know it was a dead battery and not some other problem? Did you try and start it again and did the engine turn over (did the starter motor work)?
Once the bike is running, as in when riding it, it should run with a bad battery too. How do you know you didn't have a loose connection at a battery post or somewhere else in the ignition system?
How did your new battery get charged, ie, for how long and how do you know it was fully charged up? It would not make your bike stop running if it was a new battery even if not fully charged, it may just not start your bike more than a few times 'till it crapped out it if wasn't fully charged first. I don't think your old or your new battery or your stator has anything to do with your bike not running.
Get a voltmeter, measure the battery voltage at rest. It should be 12.6V min for a fully charged battery. Start the bike up, rev it up to at least 2500-3000rpms and while it's there, measure the voltage again at the battery terminals. It should be at least 13 up to 14V, and if in that range, there is nothing wrong with your charging system.
You have some other problem I bet, not your battery. And loose wires do not pull amps from your battery and kill it, they will prevent current from flowing or make an intermittent connection.
