Have you load teasted the battery.....Just because it only a few months old means nothing.......
new ones can go bad.Battery should read 12.6 with bike not started.

No matter what the salesman says, these batteries should ALWAYS be charged before fitting them.

I havent load tested yet, because i dont have a charger yet, and the battery isnt powerfull enough to start the bike anymore, it does give a good couple of cranks everyday before giving up but it takes more than that to start for the first time of the day, the battery is reading 11.6 right now not started, i will test while running today and possibly take to advance for them to test, i did mess up and not charge when i got the battery, i will let you all know the results this evening, starting to think the regulator messed up in the rectifier diodes tested good but someone told me they should be 5 or over and mine is 3 almost 4, thanks to everyone that took the time to respond and try to help
