    You can kick start the bike and it runs fine?
    You can jump start the bike and it dies when you remove the jumper cables?

    Or are you saying that you can kick start the bike with jumper cables attached but when you remove the jumper cables then the bike stops running? If this is true then I think you have a very dead battery with an open cell.

    Did you try running the bike without the battery and putting a voltage meter on the positive and negative terminals? You should get a reading of something around 13-14 Volts, if it's 12 or under, you're not getting power. Could be the voltage regulator or could be the stator. You need to get a voltage meter and take some readings as electrical issues are a bit difficult to troubleshoot from your description.

    Cheers!

    To test the charging system you need a fully charged battery and a multimeter.
    Usually the problem is the regulator / rectifier but it is good to test before replacing
    The regulator rectifier suzuki motorcycle gn125 fits perfectly.
    You can test the system by following these steps of the photo.
