Sounds like the battery to me. The same thing happened when my bike was new. Guys at dealership did all this voltage testing with the bike off and running but every morning it was dead and had to be jumped. The finish was rode to the dealer to tell them about it again and they went to pull the bike into the shop and it wouldn't start. New battery...since then everything as been fine.

Old enough to know better...young enough not to care.

I would guess that your battery is just on its way out. Once you get it started the charging system takes over and you really never use your battery. As you ride to work, the charging system charges the battery back up, and since you are at work all day(chances are the weather is warmer than in the morning when you try to start it) the battery has plenty of juice to start your bike so that you can get home. I would get a new battery if i were you. YUASA offers a new battery that gives out the same or even better charge and its smaller than stock. It also weighs nearly 4 pounds less than stock.

Life is short, but sweet for certain...
