Here it is. My bike will start with a charged battery. I can ride it and shut it off for an hour and it willl start fine. My battery is being charged by the bike when running. However when I leave it sit the battery drains. When I try to start it the starter stalls and tries to turn over after it stalls. The battery drains with the main fuse out.

 

bad battery?

 

When I take my battery out of the bike it does not loose the charge.

 

Start pullin fuses till it stops discharging.

+1 - But, if you are still on the original battery it's time for a new one anyway.

Do you have an alarm system?

 

Take the battery to Autozone to have it tested - free

 

Maybe a short somewhere? Just a guess but check the cables coming of the positive side to make sure nothing has rubbed bare and grounding out.

 

My Battery is less than a year old. Thanks for the help.

 

Something electrical must be staying on to drain the battery. You could disconnect the battery each time you shut it off for a work around, but that will get old fast.

 

With the key off, take the neg. cable off at the batt. Hook the clip end of a test light to the cable and touch the post on the batt. with the probe end. If it lights you have a draw. Have someone hold the light while you start pulling fuses one at a time. If the light goes out that is the circuit with the short.
