Battery tested how? Testing with just a voltmeter is not testing. A battery needs to be load tested. Your initial description sounds like it...
Is there a good motorcycle shop you could have look at this for you?
I'm guessing it was parked outside without a cover facing the sun. The right side fairing is more exposed as the bike is leaning left when on the...

The website seems to have cut down on the image sizes for the colorized versions I just posted, they're much bigger on my end. I've put them in...
I should post these here as well, I colorized the camshaft gear drive. The images here aren't the full size ones, as the website has reduced...
If you like engine cutaways, I vectorized the 5th gen engine cutaway illustration from the service manual....
