Parasitic drain on the battery?

I wish that choppers would ride off into the sunset and never come back. Worst style of bikes ever.
So many good bikes ruined by the people who made them into a worthless, more dangerous, worst handling, steering and braking piece of scrap ever.

Different strokes for different folks.
If you were cool back in the 60's, you rode a chopper.
It wasn't about speed, handling, reliability, it was about "profiling" for the "citizens."

To me, one of the dumbest movies is easy rider. I prefer the Wild one.

That’s basically the abridged storyline of the movie !

... I prefer the Wild one.

As do I.
Lots of pre-unit Triumphs in that flick, way COOLER!

Just to resurrect and briefly drag this one back on topic - my original 2014 reg/rect was not living up to its name. Once replaced, in addition to solving the overcharging issue, the battery drain has also diminished significantly.

You will have a degree of drain, memory on ECU etc but it’s minimal, alarms? Tracker?
Use an optimate or similar you’ll have no issues

Thanks, i have ctek tails with LED flashers on each of my bikes. It now takes weeks longer to drop from green to orange than with the shonky original reg/rect.

What did you replace it with?

It was from Rick’s Motorsport Electrics, to match a Honda one as cross referenced on here somewhere. Not home at the moment so can’t give a reference number.
Also can’t recall why I didn’t just go to the local Honda shop as I had for relays

In my 2016 961 it was the digital clock,
Battery discharged at just over a week.
Got Stu to disconnect it and now bike can stand over a month and will still start..
