Probably just a bad battery, some more details maybe? Has it been on a trickle charger over the off season or have you been riding regularly and it just started out of the blue?

It's battery voltage and probably just what Jack said but do yourself a favor once you replace it check your charging system it is easily done with a volt meter. You simply turn it to dc volts start the bike and place the red lead on pos the black lead on negative and read the voltage should be just over 12 volts and when revving the motor should go no higher than 14.1 or .2
there aint nothin like it
