I currently have an electrical issue that is driving me insane!
Bike runs fine, starts fine, everything fine....until it sits for any period of time. I'll come back to the bike as little as a day or two after riding it and battery will be 0.00V. Absolutely dead. If I leave it plugged in to a battery tender it is fine, but that is simply masking my issue. I have been unable to find the draw as it seems to be intermittent. I can never find anything when I run tests.
My personal opinion is it has something to do with my fan relay. I replaced the relay last year when I was having issues with my fan not kicking on. I believe my drain issues started shortly after that. Is there a way to test if the relay is sticking open? Would that be enough to kill my battery in short order? Is there a common list of items to check so I'm not chasing this little gremlin until the end of time?
I thought I had it fixed, and had bought a new battery (Shorai) and put it in last week. Tested the battery every day for a week and saw no drop whatsoever. Left town for a few days on vacation and got back today. Voltage reads 0 again!! wtf?!?!? I didn't even ride the bike once with the new battery! Is the Shorai a $150 brick now or can I revive it?
Help!!
