Use a voltmeter and check to see if the battery is getting any charging voltage while engine is running.

By ok do you mean checked by a gauge or meter to show ok?

I would think IF all is OK like you said, It Could be Voltage Regulator or Stator not putting enough juice into battery while running, being you charge it at home and it will start then....On the ride it uses the juice and doesn't have enough juice to start again after the ride. Right?

I and Others here will want to know more facts like
""how old is the battery?

"" If you go on the ride after starting, ""how long of a ride is that? and ""will it start right up again after turned off after the ride? , and/or ""not starting the next time tried ?? meaning next day?

give a little more information and we'll try tto help.

Charge and load test the battery after removing the surface charge

Very rude, what would you propose we should do to him? Maybe walk the plank? :lolrolling

Easy stuff first. Take the battery cables loose at both ends (neg. first), wire brush the mating surfaces at each end of both cables, resecure the cables (neg. last) and try it.
