Goes from running like a champ to running like shit and killing batteries all within a few days time. I’m about to just stop riding it and deal with it in the spring. ---

You have a parasitic draw coming from somewhere on the bike. Check all your grounds, make sure everything is SECURELY fastened. It’s something stupid. ---

I have no idea what to look for that’s the problem… I don’t know too much about bikes yet. I have the bike here at work now and i’ll have to pop start it to get home since the battery is dead. Wonderful. ---

Start tracing wires, tug test, visual inspection. That’s the best I can tell ya, man. Good luck. ---

It’s either a short, the stator, or the regulator/rectifier. Only 3 things it can be. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2001-gsxr-600-running-hot-at-idle/239605.md?page=2)
