It seems my 07 ZX10 is draining the battery when parked up.
Had a flat battery in Feb 10 months old but I had done little riding/battery maintenance. replaced in March with quality battery, also added series rectifier for good measure.
Charge is perfect, and after full day in the saddle, no issues what so ever. Left bike for a couple of weeks - dead battery. Not even side lights came on.
I thought it may be the Ivan's TRE with gear indicator. So charged battery and did another days ride with TRE disconnected. Left bike for 6 days and battery is flat again.
Got me stumped. Anyone had similar issues or know where to start looking?

Re: Battery drain when parked
I would take the positive off the battery and wire in ammeter then switch off ignition and pull fuses one at a time until no current draw. If this doesn't find it, you'll probably have to keep going by unplugging things one at a time until found.
As for where to start, no idea, clocks or ECM?
