 |
|
My 95 K1100LT 's battery keeps going down overnight.
So I put a new battery in it last week, and it still keeps going down, although now it doesn't wait for overnight. Which circuits are not fused and "hot" with the key off? Anybody know?
Last time this happend, the front brake light line was pinched in the fork fill bolt, buit it's clear now.

 sounds like you need a volt meter and hours of patience
Do you have a radio or an alarm?
Do you have a light in your top box?
They are the silly ones - the only thing I can suggest is to remove the fuses one by one and see if any one of those stops the rot- at least then you can narrow down the circuits where the problem is coming from.
Best of luck! |

check you key position if you find the lock there is one more past that . it will activate the poistion lights front and rear. if that is not the problem then disconnect the negative battery cable and place a volt meter between the post and the lead and look for a drain.
