Bike was running fine not even a couple months ago, when battery died. Just replaced it with the battery the bike calls for and still losing power and won't start. Had to adjust the throttle cable months ago to get it to idle and run. Now she's just a pepper weight.
Sounds like your regulator/rectifier has failed. This is a fairly common fault on GS and GSX models, particularly the smaller capacity (below 750cc) models. Did the oil level fall below minimum at any time, because this can cause the generator on some models to overheat, causing a power surge which can burn out the regulator. Get the generator checked and fit a new regulator/rectifier.

Check for spark and fuel. The spark should be blueish-white and consistently flashing. If the ark is dull-orange and/or inconsistent then there is a problem. the fuel should flow freely from the pet-****, through the needle and seat, and past the primary and secondary jets. There are other things that can cause this problem, check the intake manifold gasket, spark plug, wire, water in the gas, and so on. well good luck.
