The problem could still be your battery being weak, and that is the first place to start. What is the voltage measured at the battery terminals 1/2 hour or more after you charge it? How long at at what amperage did you charge it. A fully charged battery should read at least 12.6V. Try and connect a good 12V battery to the battery cables and not directly to the starter (can leave the bike battery in place when you do this) and see if it starts. That eliminates everything in the line if it starts that way and directs your problem to the battery itself. Don;t look for more exotic things when you have to do this systematically from the beginning.
