Thanks for all your replies guys,

(FYI its a 2008 GSA with Garmin 1470.)

1200 GSA 2008.

First off, its my own fault, I have my Garmin sat-nav wired up to my external power socket under the seat. If I forget to unplug the cigarette lighter style connector (which has a power LED on it, which i think is causing the drain) I get a flat battery after a few days of not using the bike,

BUT........ isnt the power supposed to automatically switch off after 15 minutes. Checked just and there is still power to the socket (bike has been sat there for a week)

Any tosser tips (apart from take the connector out every time)

Have a look at this reply I posted a while back. I now have all my extra electrical items independently powered via relays and conventional fuses. The CanBus controlled accessory socket is just too temperamental in my view.

When i park up, e.g. at work, I disconnect the sat nav and take it in with me (not water proof or lockable). Then when i leave work i re-connect the garmin and it has power to it before i even turn on the ignition so dont think its that.

thanks anyway

New battery too!

it shouldnt have power unless you are connecting direct to the battery.
