Thanks for the response guys! I went ahead and ordered a new battery, Ive had the old one on the charger for a couple days and it still wont register as charged, so even if this isnt the main problem its definitely time for a new one. I also ordered a K&N filter and iridium plugs, not saying those are the problems but I read where the emgo filters (whats on my bike now) restrict a lot of air and cause it to run rich.

Im hoping its just the battery, which makes the most sense because if Im not mistaken coils need a certain amount of juice to run properly...correct? And if the charging system on the bike is working but the batterys not, then the built up juice isnt being stored in the battery properly since it wont hold a charge, and in turn the coils wont fire right because they arent getting a constant flow of requied volts? Sooooo....drum roll please......My bike runs terrible because the coils arent firing right? I have no idea if this is how the system actually works so if anybody can shine some light on my diagnosis, please do.
