1. Take the battery out, give it a full charge, then get it load tested. If good then:
2. Check your Stator output.
3. Check your Voltage Regulator output
After you accomplish all that, report back.

I had this same issue, I dont get to ride much so I always put it on a tender because I never know when Ill get out riding again.
Doing this masked the fact that it wasnt charging.
Turned out my regulator was bad then my stator to regulator plug disintegrated. Resulting in me having to install a new stator and new regulator.

If you get it running again put a voltage meter across the battery terminals to see what the reading is. If around 12 volts or less you have a charging system problem. Not sure what the spec should be but generally 13.2-14.5 is acceptable and your problem would be something else. My first check would be the ground wire making sure it was clean and tight on the frame stud.
oh edit to say I voted “yea” as I already did. Sold my 1998 FXDWG and got a 2010 FLHX!

You should test the stator first.
