[QUOTE="bramfrank, post: 241227, member: 2163"] Uhh . . anything discharging the battery (such as the charging system) would be a load and would be measurable. If the first battery drained in 2 hours it was either finished or something absolutely was left on. Does the charging circuit work properly? Does it float the battery to the right voltage? If you aren't getting enough volts, battery capacity will be compromised. My bike sat from January 7 to April 20 and started right up - and there's an alarm system on it that does pull some small amount of current beyond the basic stuff like the imobiliser and memory in the ECU. I am more impressed by the fact that this dealer replaced the batteries on a 2 year old machine apparently under warranty!! [/QUOTE]
