Unhappy Suzuki DR200se 2001 Starter wont work.

Hi!

I am new to this site, and i have a question.

I bought a used DR200 from the MSF people here in Alaska. The bike runs great, has all of 5000 miles on it, has always had regular maint. So I ride the bike for about two weeks and everything works great, but then all of the sudden the electric start doesn't work. No sound is made upon pushing the button, so I push started it and it works great and I get home and turn it off then press the start button and it works!

Now i get up in the morning and use the button to start it and it works great the bike gets me to work no problem, then about 5 hours later I go to start it again and the electric start button doesn't work!
I push start it and works great again, then I notice that the left rear signal doesn't work and the front left signal stays solid!

So, I am heading home on the highway and the bike just sputters down to nothing, like it ran out of gas, which might be very likely because I have no idea how big the tank is, I walked the bike about a mile to the gas station and filled up and I put in about 2.7 gallons.

Then I go to push start and cant get the thing to start for the life of me. So I get home about two hours later and end up push starting it and it works fine.

SO... (catches breath)

Recap

- Electric start won't work (no noise at all)

- Left rear signal light wont work

- Left front signal stays solid

- I am in the process of charging the battery, but checked it with a voltometer and it read 12.6v which sounds right to me.

so any ideas on what i should do next?
