sounds like the battery is too weak, do you keep it on a tender when you are not riding. also, you need to make sure your charging system is functioning correctly.

After checking battering and complete charging / starting system I dug deeper, What I ended up finding is a broken connector to a sensor on front left of engine under oil filter... repaired and good to go!!!

Probably the crank sensor to sense piston position to fire the coil.

BTW, if the speedo doesn't work, the bike will still start and run fine.
