The last few days my battery is draining down for some reason. I had the battery tested under load at Batteries Plus and it is good. I noticed that when I went to disconnect the ground from the battery and then touch it again the headlight relay clicks once, disconnect the ground and it clicks once. I've never noticed this before. Another thing just started happening is when I turn the ignition on the headlight comes on before I start the engine. It always came on when I started the engine. I keep the battery connected to a trickle charger over night and I get a full charge of 13. something and the battery will hold a charge of 12.7v disconnected from the bike. Checked the charging at 1100rpm and I get 11.98v. Ride for a few hours and it's down to 10v and starter won't spin. I tried a spare headlight relay that is good and same thing is happening. I cleaned the terminals to the headlight and no change. Does this sound like a short in the wiring somewhere?
I've had problems with the headlight going out on me when I was riding and when I took the headlight out and wiggled the wires around it would come on again. I haven't had that problem since last year.
