Sounds like a charging issue. First check all wires and make sure they are clean and making good contact, then check for proper voltage at the battery. I ride a harly so I don't know the exact voltage to look for but it most likly is around 13V at the battery if it isn't you need to look at your voltage regulator and stator.

I had that problem a few years ago - The regulator/rectifier was position to close to the exhaust and it couldn't hack the heat, had to replace and reposition.

My suzuki intruder 2001 1500 battery would not hold charge so i bought new battery. after two weeks and on road trip the bike battery did not have enough juice to turn engine over. took battery back and...
Check it is charging. The voltage of the battery should be about 14 volts with the engine running at just above idle. If it is lower than this (which I suspect) you will need a new regulator or rectifier. to identify which of these you need will require a visit to an auto electrician.

My 1500 intruder sometimes wont turn over it starts to but wont make it . happens more when its below 70 degrees hase a new matt battery in it
Check the standing battery voltage is more than 12.6 volts and when it is running it should be 13.8 and no more than 14.5volts.
That will check the battery is charging properly.

Suzuki intruder 1500 charging system
You need to buy a volt meter and set it on 10, or 20 v-. Start the bike and see what it says. A good charging system will show 13-14+ volts. If the meter says 11-12 volts or does not change, you have a bad stator, or rect/reg. Take to a shop to have it further tested. Chaz Moto DC

2002 suzuki intruder vl1500 not charging battery
Check the voltage across the battery with the engine running - it should be greater than 13.5V. 
If less, then you have a failure in your charging system, either the stator and/or the Rectifier/Regulator. 
See this personally authored diagnostic guide on how to determine which part is defective. Also has a recommendation for excellent replacement as opposed to std OEM.
