I think u answered your own issue here... U have a draw somewhere pullin your battery down and it sounds like charger doesn't have enough ass to come the draw with the ****ty extension cord... Take the battery out and charge it in house overnight direct from a plug in the house... See if it starts bike... If it doesn't u may have a starter issue... It could be the draw and the problem.. (I'm just thinking outside the box here) when u jump it from truck doesn't that provide a lot more cranking amps than a motorcycle battery? So if u have a weak starter with an internal problem maybe the big truck battery can overcome the starter but the motorcycle battery can't?? Follow?... Again suggestion
