Thanks will check that. I've also heard that the alarm can be the culprit. Several people have said they had to remove it becuase it was draining the battery all the time. However I cannot find how to do this - itsnot in the manual. Can anyone help with this? thanks

Hi all. New to the forum. My girlfriend has just got a dragstar 125 2002 plate. Had to put a new battery on as the old one was dead. However it keeps losing its charge. Have checked the voltage across it and it goes up to 14v when the engine is running which indicates the alternator is charging it. It drops to 12V when the lights are turned on. it lasts about 2-3 days before it discharges to the point where it will not turn the starter. Seems like something is draining the battery. Anyone had this problem before or any ideas where to start? cheers stu
