You have a hi resistance leak some place that is drawing too much current. Could be a chaffed cable some place. You don't have a "dresser" so audio and com equipment is not the problem.
If you want to try to "fix it" your self, you will have to attach an AMP meter between the battery and the negative lead. That will show the loss and the amount of loss. Then you just start un-hooking stuff till the drain goes away. When I say "un-hook", as you do that and no change is made, re- connect what ever you just un-did and go to next spot. Don't un-hook something and then something else, etc.
You do this WITH THE BIKE TURNED OFF. You are looking for a "near short condition" in the electrical system. That bike has no "back up" stuff like "dressers" have, so there should be no current drain from the battery when the bike is turned off.

Im not too familar with these bikes they probably have an alternator (ive seen them without one) if so that could be your problem it could of gone out or just a bad battery that what happens when they go bad they dont hold a charge you can eliminate the alternator if you ride for a while and if the battery level goes up if so its your battery if not its probably your alternator a way to see if your battery goes up or not with out a gauge is the sound the stator makes when cranking.
Hope this helps and good luck to you

Two things, either your battery is shot and isn't taking a charge at all, or the rectifier-regulator is burnt out. If you have ever used a large battery charger (over 10 amps) or jump started your bike off a car, the latter is likely.

You have a faulty charging system
This will have to be repaired in order for your bike to keep running,it takes electricity to operate your lights and ignition.
Check your fuses first
Check for broken or unplugged wires.
Do a battery volt test to see if its getting any kind of charge
If none of these are it than you will have to replace your rectifier or alternator,what ever it has to charge the battery...
