Bike won't run - battery keeps dying

[Yeti]

Bike: 1995 R1100R

History: Bike was running fine with no issues other than the head gasket leaking. Dealer replaced the head gaskets after one of the cylinder studs pulled out. When he was done, the tech called and said it looked like my battery was dead because the bike wouldn't start or keep running. He replaced the battery and dropped the bike off at my house. (He's a friend of mine.)

Bike sat for two days. I then went to go take it for a ride and it wouldn't start. Turned over really slowly but wouldn't start. So I put it on the trickle charger and took the car to work. Got home, took it off the charger and it started right up. Went for a short ride, got home and shut 'er down. Tried to re-start her and the lights turned on but no cranking. Tried again and it would slowly crank but not start. So it seems the battery is not being recharged. BUT the alternator/battery light does not come on (except when I start the bike up).

Any thoughts or ideas what the problem might be? Any suggestions on things to check?

Thanks in advance!!

the battery was replaced less than a year ago and I'm not sure it was actually dead now. I'll have to find out if he actually checked the battery before he replaced.

When you get it running again shine the headlight against a wall. Rev the engine and if the light doesnt get brighter the charging system isnt working. If it DOES get bright the charging system is fine.

Not the alternator or battery. I am now thinking it's the starter. Will pull it and check. Thanks.
