Sounds like poor contact at the battery terminals to me. Make sure the terminals are clean on the battery and the clamps as well. Also make sure the hot and ground clamps on the battery are snugged down well.

Good luck.

If you bought the bike new in 05 and only have a few miles on it since you may not be running her long enough to keep the charge up on the bat. Small batteries like to stay at full charge. If you take a lot of short trips and then you let her sit for days pick up a battery tender to keep the charge up. The tender comes with a harness to connect to the battery and a quick connect to the charger...then you just plug it in. Of course I would also, as advised, check the terminal connections to ensure everything is snug.

 

if mine sat more tha a couple weeks, it did the same thing. anytime it clicks its almost always the connections.
