So the GS's battery goes dead now whenever the bike sits. This started happening on the last day of the BBC rally after a rainstorm the night before. What could possibly be draining power when the ignition is off? I tested the ignition key switch and it's fine. The battery is good - sealed and brand new 3 months ago. Unless of course it got toasted by a bad R/R, which I am checking as soon as I get some time...but how would the R/R drain power with the ignition off?
Anyone have any ideas?
On the upside, I spoke with a guy from Leakproof today and he's sending a set of replacement fork seals for free...
In the meantime, all these gremlins with the old GS have got me thinking about how nice it would be to have a dependable modern bike to take on the longer rides. I think something like this would do:
Minus the huge mirrors, rear fender and stock exhaust, of course...
