My 400 has to be recharged after a week or so of riding not using my lights if i use the lights it goes dead in a few hours. I have scanned the wiring with nothing showing up. Has anyone else experinced this problem if so what was the fix????
Thanks

 

There are three possible causes:

1. - The battery is defective and simply won't hold a charge - test and replace the battery. Was, or is, the battery low on fluid. If the fluid is not maintained and the level drops below the top of the plates the battery will have a very short life.

2. - The charging system is simply not charging the battery - check all wiring, test the output from the charging system with a multimeter, repair wiring or charging system as required.

3. There is a load draining the battery (when it shouldn't). Something is shorted somewhere. First check for current draw from the battery using a multimeter. If there is draw when there should not be, start reviewing all wiring and circuitry until you find the short or load that is causing the problem. Fix the short.

When your ride is not running, do you leave your key in on or off position? If it is in the on position, there is your drain.
