Sounds a bit low. Put it on charge and see how you go. However a battery can still read good volts but still be knackered.
If you can try a battery you know is good that will help diagnose it.
On later fuel injected bikes with lots of electronics a bike wont start unless the battery is above a certain level as the ECU knows it needs a certain amount of juice to make everything work. That's why you can't start them by bumping either, the ECU wont allow it. However the Fazer is not fuel injected and doesn't have loads of electronics, but it could still be susceptible to a low battery. If it's the original battery and it's an old bike then it may be time for a new one. Just try and find out if it's OK first. If it's shot then try and get a free one out of the shop you bought it from.
A poor battery can cause quite a few problems.
