Battery Draining Issue

[TURBO200R4]

Hi friends! what do you think about this dramatic (but ultimate!) solution to the battery draining issue?
A switch battery terminal ! its drawback is the reset of the date and clock of the cluster display............

There might be another draw back when you cut total power then the ecu tend to reset to when it was new may be a problem if you have changed it.

no, i would not put anything which sits between battery and OEM wirings. already have enough issues with slow roll engine turning off by itself even in the turn the engine shuts off randomly

Fix the problem. It's not difficult or have a shop fix it. I'd say get a multimeter but it seems that's been criticized

i think everybody should have one and learn how to use one not that hard and there is always you tube videos
the alternative is to try this part then try that part sooner or later you will find the problem maybe.

having a multi meter is the same thing as having a tire pressure gauge. without either you have NO IDEA WTF is going on and if you can use a tire pressure gauge, you can use a multimeter. Its amazing how we have a group of people who have chosen to dedicate a skill set to NOT DIEING on the road yet are unable or unwilling to learn basic trouble shooting tools.

Parasitic drain is always a problem trying to locate but with patience, consistent testing and minimal equipment you can locate the problem.

So I finally got multimeter ;-)
Charged battery 11.3V , when connected to the bike went down to 4.3V - is that normal?
And a bike would not start, not even hazard lights.
Disconnected straight away and battery was showing 10V.
No idea what does it mean

Fully charged battery should be over 12.6 volts, seems like you have a bad battery.

It's my 4th one,
I keep buying new ones and they last 5-6 months

Something is killing your battery, maybe the charging system needs to be checked. I usually get 3-4 years from original battery. If you are near a Batteries Plus store they warranty their batteries for 2 years Duracell brand.
