I would see about leaving it on charge over night as sometimes if the bike hasnt been run fully on the last few rides it can dis charge itself.

I have been running the bike fur the last 4 weeks now an ave been out every couple o days at least, fur more than a 100 miles or so......

I went out the day it started as usual GREAT...a half click o the starter..went 20 miles...stopped fur a min to ask directions in doin that i stopped the engine,,,when i started it agin it strated but with a different sounding... done it again,,,smae thing, then on my third stop tried it again an it wouldnt fire,, it was clicking....so i bumped it down a hill,, it started fine... got it home,,, when home,, i stopped it an tried to start it again instantly... click click click... 3 hours had passed an i went to start it again, it tried but failed within a couple o turns o the starter. so i jumped it with a batterry charger, an it fired up within being on the charger 30 seconds....... took it 5 mile run.. came back tried it again,, now its completley dead.. not even a click.?????? any ideas. to they symptoms

As Nigel mentioned, is the bike charging? Use a multimeter & check if it is charging first before replacing the battery.
