    Did you buy it new, used, from a dealer or private?

    To be honest it sounds like you have a real problem with the bike. Three batteries in as many months is definitely not normal. If you got it from a dealer take it back. If you got it private and you are not familiar with the bike electrics, seek some assistance from a local dealer.
    Good luck with it.

    Definitely take it back and take the receipts (for the batteries) with you to them. It's probably not charging enough when riding?
    Also, is it on a battery charger when not in use? Still not correct though.

    Yep! I agree. Take it back to the dealership, there is definitely something wrong. 3 batteries in as many months is ridiculous.
