I've had it on for three months without any problem....

No problems with battery..... had mine for almost two years!

I was worried there for a minute!

I'm assuming you've had the alarm for 3 months, not let the bike sit with it on for three months?

Any alarm is going to put a drain on the battery while activated and a small bike battery isn't going to last long. Heck my car battery will die if I leave the alarm activated for a week without starting the car.

yeah, had the alarm for 3; no way does this bike sit for 3 months!


It has been idle for two weeks at one point, but it started without any hint of voltage problem...

 

[UR IT!]

The alarm shouldn't cause that by itself. Go back through your install and check that you don't have a wire grounding out somewhere

Good luck...

How old is the battery? It may be time to replace

Yup! Got two years out of mine.

had mine kill the battery once in 8 months, because it sat for over 3 weeks while I was out of town on business...put a charge back in it and no issues since.

Had mine happen a couple times, but those were times when I didn't ride for a couple of weeks at a time.
