Not trying to lead you down a KTM path with thus as I thought you just wanted to buy a newie....
BUT
How long are you cranking each time? The recommended batteries can do multiple 2-5 second starts without a failure but if you are doing say.... 15-30 second starts then the best OEM battery will die!
Next is take your battery to a battery specialist, they should be able to give you a free assessment of your battery condition. It's the CCA rating to focus on, but bigger ain't always better... Look for deep cycle!
If you need to buy a new battery then leave $50-75 to by a trickle charger like the boat owners have. These units actually charge and discharge a battery over time to keep it fully operational. You can get these any where from specialists to Bunnings.
hope this helps more?
