Rode my motorcycle about 50 miles. Stopped for about 15 - 20 minutes, but didn't turn the key all the way off. Now it won't start. Headlight is bright, but no engine light, neutral light are on. Won't start (not even a click). Got a jump from a car (had the car turned off) and it still wouldn't respond.
Is it most likely just a dead battery? battery is only 2 to 3 years old.

voltage regulator probably,intermittent problem or alternator diode burned .Ask a mechanic to check your voltage and your flowing current in the system while idling
Fit a pressure gauge to the fuel line and check pressure, pressure must hold with the engine stopped, if not check the pressure regulator and the non return valve in the fuel pump.If all ok there check for injector leak.
Check the dash once you turn the key to the run position the passlock runs a security check using a set resistance value through the chip in the key. If the security light begins to flash the reading it received was incorrect or it didn't get a reading at all. You can try reseting the value it is looking for by turning the key to start then releasing it. After 10 minutes turn it off then cycle it start again leaving it in on for 10 minutes then back to off then one more time. After the third cycle has completed for a total of 30 minutes. You should be able to turn the key on and start the vehicle. If the light continues to flash their is a problem with the chip in the key or the connections within the ignition its self. Both are common but a Pass Lock Relearn as described above will usually adapt to the poor connection values. Hope this helps.
Use any motorcycle oil that has the JASO MA rating. 10w-40 for cold climate .20w-50 for warm climate/touring. Do not use any oil that says Energy Conserving it will shorten the life of your wet clutch and transmission gears(wrong additives). Synthetic oils will help your bike run cooler and shift easier.
