Asking for a family member who is not right here. in town He says the rear brake light stays on when the parking brake is set, machine off, draining the battery. Never heard of that anywhere. Should I tell him to RTFM?
Is the key being left on? shrug. Sounds like he is really missing something.

 

Nope, its a different story if the key is on!!

I keep mine in the garage with the key off and brake locked...one year and counting now, same battery

 

Yeah, I think he's leaving the key on and the brake light switch probably functions in the same manner as if you applied the pedal. I'll call him in a bit. Thanks.

 

Yup, he let someone ride it and they left the key on.
