OP here. I just got the bike back from my dealer this past weekend. Turns out my problem was broken wires. There are two groupings of wires coming out the back of the battery - the lower group had two broken wires within. Interestingly, the insulation of these individual wires were not broken, but the wires themselves were. My dealer is thinking they were in a position to have been pinched. A soldering repair with beefier wires and she's starting like she should. Thanks for all the replies, glad to have learned how to rig up a charger if needed!

Thanks for posting that wiring diagram Carlos. My local mechanic traced the problem to a bad relay. On the bike, it's located inside the battery box at the top, above the cells. In the wiring diagram Carlos posted, it's the part at the top, located in square D4. Problem is there is no part number for it that we can find. Anyone happen to have any info on it?

Another great find! No, I didn't have that, thanks jer. Between those two resources there's no need to rig something up. Still no love at the starter though. Checked all connections near the starter - they're good. Disconnected the starter button and put a jumper in the plug to mimic the button - nothing. My mechanic is thinking a bad cell in the battery. Into the shop she goes later this week. In the meantime, at least the kick start still works. Appreciate all the info and resources provided thus far. I'll post an update once she comes back from the shop.

Great find stevec! I ended up pulling the battery "box" apart. Put a Li battery tester/charger on it, turns out it was fully charged (verified with a voltmeter, 13+V). Did a maintenance charge anyway. No love at the starter. I just replaced the starter switch a month ago, so don't think it's that, but haven't had time to dig out the connection & check yet. Will check the starter bolt spoken of in the ADVRider post also.

Dead battery on my 2022 TRS One R 250. Ride it weekly, so it wasn't sitting long. Usually don't use the light so don't think it was left on (plus I think it turns off when bike is shut down?). Have the battery box pulled apart - there's no real convenient place to hook a charger to, plus it's a PIA to get into. If this has happened once it will probably happen again, so thinking of a way to build an easy charging setup. Could a guy splice into the positive & negative cables where they come out of the box & solder on charging connections there? That would leave the water tight battery box intact. Has anyone rigged up something like this? I'd prefer to not re-invent the wheel, so if anyone has dealt with this I'd like to hear about it.
