Re: Battery keeps dying...
You can have lights with 10 - 11 V but that's nowhere near enough to turn over the starter motor which draws 60 amps. The clicking you hear when you hit the start button is the relay and the starter making noise but not rotating = not enough amps in the battery.
To go over this again here - a fully charged SLA battery reads 12,66V - a VRLA is 12.85V
SLA 12.45 V = 75% charge = VRLA 12.65 V
SLA 12,24V = 50% charge = VRLA 12.35V
SLA12.06V = 25% charge = VRLA 12.00V
SLA 11.80 V = 0% charge = VRLA 11.80V
After you get the multitester/voltmeter let us know what the battery reads at rest and with the bike running fast idle or midrange, measured at the battery terminals. And get the battery load tested. Until you can do that, there's nothing else we can tell you.
