• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

This May be the Solution to the Dreaded Battery Drain

I came across this on YouTube. Not that I need it, but it automatically shuts off power to connected accessories after the engine is shut down. Looks like a solution for anyone out there who might have battery drain problems. I ask though, does it draw more power if a tender/maintainer is hooked up at the same time?

After 4 minutes I lost all interest. With the dark glasses and all the BS talk, I'm out'a here. I've never had a "dreaded battery drain" anyway.

I never had battery drain either, but some riders/owners aren't that lucky. I was Only thinking of Them when I posted it.
 
I've had zero battery drain issues. My bike sits still for 21 to 45 days at a time. No tender on it and it starts immediately every time.
 
I'm just guessing "canamryder'' has something, possibly an aftermarket item, attached to a hot lead or a worn through hot lead somewhere in the system. A tender/maintenance unit supplies power, it does not drain power. A leak in a loom is very hard to trace and I wish you luck in finding it. Just a simple 12v tester may be your best friend in locating the leak. Just start probing all the lines that should not be hot.

I have had NO electrical problems with my 2019 Rally. Only problem is that in my #1 posting I should have worded it as "looks like A solution for anyone with battery drain problems" not "THE solution to me".
