Default Electrical Problems

Having a problem with bike running. I recently changed the stator and voltage regulator, and the circuit breaker. The battery is dead but it will start and run as long as I jump start it but as soon as I pull the jumper cable off it dies. What else could it be?

First step would probably be to put in a known good battery.

Check the condition of your positive and ground cables.
