Welcome to the forum!
Did you just recently buy the battery?
Are the connectors clean?

The only thing that I can think of right away is that either you got a dead battery, or you have some kind of wireing short that may be draining to power.
Others will probably have some more ideas for you. Good luck and welcome.

I would take the battery back and have it load tested. If that is good, look at the charging system on your bike. If the charging system is good, look for something that would be drawing voltage while it is off. My bet is on the battery or charging system.
