Are you checking the fluid levels in the battery?

How long are you running the bike after starting it? Putting energy back into the battery takes much longer than taking it out. If you are running with lights while riding, expect even more time to recover.

Do you have a stand alone charger to put the battery on while the bike is idle for a while?

The charge circuit on the GS is fairly simple. Check the integrity of all the connections to the battery and make sure the generator windings are connected to the Regulator/Rectifier (RR) assembly. Check also the connection from the battery to the chassis. A poor return (ground, negative side of the battery) can also show up as a poorly charging battery.

Those are good starting places. Let us know.

'Santchy' transmission can be caused by a slack chain or worn cush-drive rubbers in the rear hub

did you bump your clutch lever by accident?
