Electrical Problem?

I pretty much have no problems with the bike except for what I think is a small electrical problem.

If I just park the bike in my driveway, the battery will drain itself in about three days. It won't even have enough juice to start.

I "solved" this problem by always having the bike connected to a battery tender when I park the bike at home.

However, I'm moving in a couple months and I'm moving from a house with a private garage to an apartment with a shared garage. I scoped out the garage and there isn't a single wall socket in the entire garage.

So now instead of just buying a tender to mask the problem, I decided I'm going to get to the root of the cause. After some simple research, I "think" it could be a faulty regulator/rectifier. I'm not 100% sure though.

What do you think? Do you think it's the R/R or do you think it's something else?

Thanks in advance.

 

That sounds reasonable. How old is the battery itself?

 

About 6 months old. I replaced it in late April / early May.

 

It would be worth running some volt checks on the battery output, stator output, and R/R output to see where everything is. There are a few threads on this for refferrence, if you use the search function you should find them.

 

if you dont find the proble you can always install a batt. disconnect switch to save the charge!just a thought...
