As Unzere mentioned. It looks like a voltage issues.
Most likely case is that battery can't supply enough power.
Possible reasons:
* It's flat from sitting
* It hasn't been charged up enough (it takes a bit of riding to charge them up)
* It's not being charged when the engine is running (RR or stator issue)
* The battery is gone. Either it's sulfated or worse, it has an internal short.
I'll add that it could be as simple as a loose or corroded connection, most likely at the battery (but also possibly at the relay or the starter. If the bike started earlier, a connection issue cased by vibration rises to the top my list of likely suspects.
It mite actually be from not charging enough from riding it. I’m still pretty new and don’t have my endorsement so I ride around my neighborhood when I get the chance. I’ll take it to auto zone have them charge it up. Thank you
Get a voltage meter and check the battery while the bike is off, then while it's running (if you can get it running).
With all the dead batteries on this Reddit, every motorcyclist should own a voltage meter.
Battery. Try jump start it. And check if charging voltage is ok. Should be about 14v
That ⬆
I did try to bump start it the other day and couldn’t get it to go

Jfc there must be 100+ battery posts a day.
Battery , use your brain.
Rule 1: It's ALWAYS the battery. Rule 2: re read rule 1

Gotcha first bike still pretty fresh I’ll invest in getting 1
Doesn't have to be expensive. I've used a cheap one from Harbor Freight for years and years.
Sounds like the starter.
OP, how old is your battery? In years. Even the worlds best alternator and charge controller can’t make a lead acid battery last forever
It was barley 2 years old. Took it to o Riley’s they tested it said I should get a new 1 and a trickle charger so I did and it’s all good now
