My motorcycle battery is drained after being fully charged?

I have a XJ750 Maxim and the battery drains when I go to start it. I do anything to kill the battery and the is on a charger. It recently started clicking instead of doing nothing. Any advice on what it may be?

Battery is dead, That is why the fast clicking from the starter selenoid. (It doesn’t have the power to hold down the internal spring). Put in a new CHARGED battery & it should start. When running, Put a DC volt meter on the battery terminals. It should be reading 14 ~ 14.5 volts DC when revd up (Charging the battery). If you can’t get 14 plus volts, The bike isn’t charging & the bike will quit when battery runs low enough. As for charging problem, Usually the voltage regulator or stator.
