Default Magneto or ???

Hiya!
I own a 2012 Savage ( Suzuki LS650),

Theres a new -ish battery & I recently had a service from the local shop - oil -plugs- carb clean etc.

She is hard to turn over lately & once I do and ride for a few blocks, when I park her and come back , the battery is drained.

Could it be the magneto at fault?
if so how do I test it ?
what else is suggested ?
im not savvy YET on motorcycle parts and maintenance…
… however the symptoms of my bike seems similar to that if a faulty alternator in a car…is that what the magneto is /does?
thanks in advance!
