Sorry, I should have updated this. I was out this weekend trying to get some miles on the scooter. Well, I hate to give all the credit to Bikerboy53. I mean I did hold one of the wires.
But, yes Bikerboy53 found the "alleged" problem. (That one's for you Bikerboy.....personal joke between us.
) It was the Bushtec isolator that I had put on for the Bushtec trailer. It had a voltage draw of 2.68 or 2.69 if I recall. Bikerboy53 has the same setup on his RK and it had a whopping draw of . . . . 0.00. Hummm....imagine that! I almost could figure that one out!
I held the wire and Bikerboy53 used the brain part of this troubleshooting saga. Somehow, it all worked out and I'm a happy biker again. I checked the draw on the battery afterwards for four days. The battery went from 12.58 down to 12.52 in that time. I think that's good? Now I can't explain why it would make a voltage draw at times and not at times. Nothing else has been changed or moved in weeks. However, I can move on. . . .
Thanks to Bikerboy53 brain and my fine knowledge in holding the wire, we made it all happen. Anyway, something to think about if you install a isolator and then down the road notice that your battery keeps going dead and waking up that frigg'n alarm...
