As title says something is draining the battery on my bike. If I remove battery its holds charge but when left on the bike within 2/3 days its down to 2volts.
I know these can be a pain to find just wondering if anybody know where to start or common faults
cheers

Re: draining battery
Having a read here would probably be the best place to start:
viewtopic.php?uid=16&f=24&t=912&start=0
Just one of those times to get the wiring diagram and meter out and start tracing

Re: draining battery
Would be worth checking insulation of your cables in case it has worn through somewhere and its going to earth that way
