Default need help fast

I got a kawasaki 650 brute force 2005 when it is parked it is killing the battery so i tested it by taking the positive cable off and useing a volt meter to see how many amps it was drawing it is drawing .64 amps so i started unpluging things the only thing that made it stop drawing was the dash has enyone heard off this?thanks

Yep. That happens when water gets into the circuit boarding of the dash and causes corrosion/short-circuiting. You may want to install ON/OFF switch to cut off the amperage draw.

Under the seat, there is black plastic fuse box. Open it and pull out the 10 amp fuse on which the label says "EBC". Pull out the fuse, then check to see if the dash meter is still drawing the current or not.
