How did you charge the new battery? Did it come with acid in it already or did it come dry and you added it?

Clean the battery terminals, WD in starter switch assembly, WD in side stand kill switch. My money on the starter switch being moisture ridden.

Ok. Just for basic procedure, a dry battery must be slow charged ( 2-3 amp) for 6 or more hours, then sit for an hour or two. It's a long process. It's more than just adding electrolyte and fast charging and expecting the battery to be ready.
If you did not use this basic procedure, the battery is not necessarily optimal yet.

could be. if you are not getting a ( Click) from the starter solenoid. Cross the terminals with a screwdriver and see if it starts.
