I think it is my starter, but not sure. when I go to start the bike, I push in the start button and it barely turns over, and takes a while to get it going, or the starter will start clicking and not turn the engine. this has MELTed one battery already and melted my new one half way. I use a YUASA super sealed 12V. Do I need a different battery or a new starter?

Check your grounds.

+1. check your grounds. main strap to frame is under the airbox. another ground is near the battery. Also, you may need washers on your terminal bolts.
