Gorilla Alarm Question

[tthuss]

I was thinking of getting an alarm for my RS. I have been reading the posts here on the forum about the alarms, and I have read reviews about them on the amazon. I have been trying to find out how the alarm affects the battery on the spyder.

My question is: Is there a constant draw on the battery with the alarm constantly connected to the battery, even with it not turned on? Will I have to disconnect it from the battery when it is in my garage and not being used?

There is a very small parasitic draw when turn off or on but I have had my bike idle over a week with no noticible drain. When at home I keep the trickle charger on so as not to shorten the batteries life by repeaded deep cycles.

Thanks! I was hoping that it was not too much of a draw. I just bought a battery tender jr, for the times I am not able to ride in the winter months, so it looks like it will come in handy at other times as well.
