Hi all, my battery kept goin flat on my bike so I replaced it with a brand new one. Put it on last night and it was fine. Came and had a look at it this afternoon and the new battery had been drained and it was on trickle charger. Anyone else had the same or similar problem?

Sounds like you may have a drain. This may sound stupid and prob not the case. You don't have the ignition key turned to park mode when you leave it do you? Will leave your side lights on. You prob know this just thought I'd say.

When the bike is ruining it's is not making any electricity so it could be either the rectifier or the stator. But that doesn't explain why it drains when it's not running

Just run another test and it seems the power that is being drawn from the battery whilst the bike is off is coming from the fuel side of things. I pulled the fuse under the seat (10amps) and the draw on the battery instantly stopped.
