[QUOTE="CA G-Man, post: 1107900, member: 36805"] I can't offer much technical assistance here but when I went away on vacation for a couple of weeks in August (which, combined with some other factors meant 3 weeks without a start-up) the battery on my brand new '13 got drained (no dash lights or anything), in fact so much so that my so-called “smart” charger thought it was a 6-volt and wouldn’t charge it. At the time I thought “Hmm, that’s odd; must be the factory immobilizer and that perpetually blinking LED light draining it.” It was only later that I realized that that didn’t make any sense given what should be a very minimal draw from that immobilizer. I never did pursue a proper answer, but I’m much more diligent about keeping it on the battery tender now. If it happens again I’ll have to investigate further. Oh, and dcarver: Yes, some of us have been riding our snowblowers instead of our bikes for the last month.
