Riding 2005 c90 last night when it started to sputter and stopped. Battery was down so I jumped it long enough to get home but died again. Original battery but not sure if it is battery or alternator.

try jumping if it jumps or you get power from a jump its your battery it can die over night this is common runs good one day then will not do it the next i would start there first if it turns over after a jump that is your problem.Replace the battery most batteries only last up to 18months
There could be one of the two reasons for this.
One. The battery is dead. Unlikely as after charging for some time it holds enough charge to start the bike.
Two. The alternator could be faulty and is not charging the battery. So, when you put it on charge, the battery gets charged enough to start the bike. Please have the alternator rectified.
Most bikes require that your battery be in goo condition in order to run. They actually use the battery as part of the ignition circuit. So if your battery is completely dead it will drag your ignition circuit down. Recommendation: Remove your battery, charge it and/or get it tested.
Secondly, if your battery checks out as being good, the only other thing I could think of it being is your charging system. That being comprised of a stator and a voltage regulator. These are semi expensive parts so, once you get past the battery check, I'd advise you to either get a manual for your bike, and some testing equipment (if your mechanically inclined), or take you bike to a reputable cycle shop and have them check it out. This way your not replacing good parts trying to track down the problem.
Have your Regulator/rectifier checked , and have your ststor checked also . Both are not hard to fix , regulator about 15 mins and ststor about 45 mins .
