Beginning to wonder if something may be draining the battery.
I purchased the bike - 2010 Thruxton - about a month ago. When I went to pick it up, it wouldn't start. The gentleman I purchased it from said it was odd, because he had just started it to bring it out of the garage. We threw it on the tender for 20 minutes and she fired up. I got it home and charged it on the tender for about 5 hours until I was in the green.
Fast forward 4 weeks.
Start it up to take it out for a ride. Run it to the end of the driveway, and turn it off to run inside for a moment. Go to leave, and nothing! Put it on the tender for a few hours until I was green again. All good. Go out for a ride. Stopped, and accidentally left the light on for 30 minutes. Dead. Charged enough to get home.
Next day.
Take the battery to have it tested. They say it's done. I buy a new, pre-charged battery. Throw it on the bike, and it fires up. I didn't ride, just let it run for a minute.
Next morning.
Dead again. Brand new battery. Nothing was left on to drain it this time.
.
Any thoughts?
