I use anti seize with copper in place of dielectric grease. It has worked wonders for me on lots of equipment. Give it a try somewhere, battery connections are a must.

Jump start her and take it for a good long ride without stopping her...get things hot, let the wind dry things out and when you get home, turn it off and try starting again.

I say quit wasting your time and put a new battery in your bike. If it's 3 or more years old, dump it.

And always ride your bike after washing it to get some heat into the motor to dry out any water you can't reach with a chamois

Symptoms are exactly what batteries that are "almost" good do. It's "just" the bad side of bad.

Been through those precise symptoms twice now.
