if it ain't the battery, did you have a schematic for the wiring or just wing it? way back years ago, i bought a manual when i got the bike. tons of schematics in the back and i just used the simplest one. may be stupid to ask this, but did you check all connections?

Nice were you getting the diagrams from ? I've taken the stock dia. blown it up and used white out to clean it up for my many wiring challenged buddies , simplifies everything and still keeps the stock wire colors . I like yours better .
