Second, 11.5 at the saddle switch clearly indicates a connection issue between the battery and starter, it should be very near battery voltage when there is no electrical draw on the system. Re-check cables and grounds!
I never even considered that the battery could be the issue as it's brand new. I'll throw it on the charger tonight and see where it stands afterwards. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll also pick up some new battery leads, there could be a possible break somewhere that I can't see. Thanks!
