I purchased my 2010 ST1300 on May 21st, 2011. Today is August 17th and I go to take the bike out for work and she is dead, dead, dead.
My farkles are LED lights in the fairing and three power sockets one of which has the radar detector plugged in and the other two are used for charging phone's and such on the road. All are direct wired to the battery and yes I know I need a fuse box, it is on the list. But, since none of these items I didn't think are drawing current unless being used I thought it would be ok. Also I double checked and the LED lights and the radar detector were not left on. I also direct wired a battery tender for the future but since the bike is brand new I wasn't worried about plugging it in yet.
It had been about 2 weeks since she was last run, she is now on a 2amp slow charge.
Beside's the obvious that one of my add on's is drawing current, any other idiea's?
