Rob, if the bike was running fine the last time you rode her, it's my bet that it's NEW battery time. Sometimes a battery goes suddenly due to the plates shorting out. It does not have to be that old. Some batteries have a short life of only a couple of years. Some last as long as five years or more. My original battery lasted five years. I'm two years into my second. Bottom line is their life span varies according to riding conditions,climate and other factors. Now if I win, you owe me a beer next time I,m over your way. -Pete
