Diagnostics, but you probably need a good bike electrician.

The timing chain most likely adjusts itself( I am not certain) however a loose chain will cause an engine rattle, but is not the cause of popping and dying.
try cleaning the fuel system, new spark plugs,new air cleaner

My initial thought is you haved a faulty voltage regulator. You should be charging at about 15 volts, but when your battery gets charged, the voltage regulator should turn the charge system off.

Your battery is hot ... you are over charging.

Im sorry, I dont know where your regulator is located.

I hoped you find some value in this comment.

Hi Dalemcin,
I had simillar problem,
what I did is I checked the level of fluid in battery and noted that it was drain ( probably evaporated, because the weather temp. where I live is above 40 C) so I replenished the battery with destilled water. Now it works perfect.

u prolly just had a losse battery cable and or corroded terminals

yes its actually easier then doing maint on a car bc u can get to every thign alot easier the maitenace is really basic like checking the tire pressure,changing oil and filter, checking the air filter,checking fuel filter if it has one??,and oiling the chain,checking all lights,checking the license plate tags, and make sure if u dont ride it for a long time like say winter buy a battery maintainer from ebay to save u from having a dead battery in the summer its well worth the money

go to any autozone store and have your battery and your charging systems for free.

Sounds like regulator/rectifier, stator, or charging rotor.
