Could be the battery. If it was de charged for awhile sitting the plates may be dead. You may want to invest in a little trickle charger if your gonna scoot. I charge my to full charge about once a week as I do on the Sport bikes. It will also tell you if that battery is weak. Or autozone could tell you. If your radio has a clock on it it's pulling . something of an amp all the time. With a weak little battery that could be the issue. You could also have what's caused static discharge. If your battery is sitting in a metal tray it is possible, never seen it with plastic tray but theoretically it could be grounding through bolts I guess that holds the plastic tray to the frame. If the electrolytes have ever spilled over the top you can actually get voltage to ground on the case of the battery. It will drain it just sitting. A good baking soda solution to clean the battery and tray real good would remedy it. I'm by no means a pro, just tossing ideas out.
