Basically something is pulling power when it shouldn\u2019t be.

Look for a setting that says &#8220;A&#8221; with a straight line over a dashed line, which stands for direct current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plug the <strong>black probe<\/strong> into the port labeled \u201cCOM\u201d and the <strong>red probe<\/strong> into the lowest amp input. If your reading goes over that limit during the test, you can switch to the higher amp setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Prep Your Motorcycle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before testing, <strong>turn off everything<\/strong> on the bike (lights, ignition, radio, any accessories)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, <strong>turn the bike completely off<\/strong> and <strong>disconnect the negative battery cable<\/strong>. This is usually the black wire connected to your battery\u2019s negative terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now connect your <strong>multimeter in line<\/strong> with the circuit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Attach the <strong>black lead from the multimeter<\/strong> to the <strong>negative battery terminal<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attach the <strong>red lead from the multimeter<\/strong> to the <strong>negative cable you just removed<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This puts the multimeter between your battery and the bike, so it can measure any current still flowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Read the Results<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, your <strong>multimeter will display the amount of current draw<\/strong>. This is how much power is being used even though your bike is turned off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every motorcycle is different but as a general rule, anything over <strong>20 to 50 milliamps<\/strong> (0.020 \u2013 0.050 amps) could be considered too much unless your bike has alarms or GPS tracking installed. If you\u2019re not sure, check your motorcycle\u2019s service manual for the manufacturer\u2019s specs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Pull the Fuses One by One<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start removing one fuse at a time while watching the multimeter display. If the reading <strong>doesn\u2019t change<\/strong>, put the fuse back in and move to the next one. When the number <strong>drops significantly or hits zero<\/strong>, you\u2019ve found the circuit causing the parasitic draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now check your owner&#8217;s manual to see what that specific fuse controls. It could be something simple like a stuck relay, a faulty accessory, or a wiring short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Next Steps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know what circuit is responsible, you\u2019re well on your way to fixing the issue whether that means unplugging a device, replacing a relay, or scheduling a visit with your mechanic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, to avoid a dead battery, <strong>leave the battery disconnected<\/strong> until the problem is resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your battery has already taken a hit, give it a full recharge before using it again. These smart chargers work great for motorcycles and powersports batteries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterymart.com\/p-battery-tender-jr-12v-0_75a-battery-charger.html\">Battery Tender Junior 12V Smart Charger<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterymart.com\/p-genius1-noco-battery-charger.html\">NOCO GENIUS1 1-Amp Charger &amp; Maintainer<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Need a replacement battery?
