[QUOTE="feejer222, post: 241075, member: 4611"] I have had 2 battery's go dead. The first over a 2 hour period and the second over a 2 day period. The dealer has replaced the battery each time as neither would recharge. I don't know if I had left the parking light on on either occasion, obviously now I will make a very concious effort not to. The dealer has tested everything and can find no other drain than the immobiliser. He says that this will flatten the battery over 3 weeks if the bike is left. Is this correct? Also because the battery is a gel type it won't re-charge when completely discharged, and a new one is required,is this right? I have a slow charger for the winter and will now put this on whenever the bike is left for more than a couple of days. [/QUOTE]
