Default battery problem

So I just went to start my nightster after not running it for 2 weeks and it seems like the battery doesnt have enouh juice to start so there it sits on the charger. my question is I have the security system does that drain the battery that much in 2 weeks Thanks PERK

Yep, if you have the security system, you need to keep the bike plugged into a battery tender if it's going to sit more than a couple of days.

Thanks cHarley I just went out and the bike fired up. I then hard wired in the adapter plug so i could plug it into my battery tender I use for my travel trailer battery in the winter. next is the battery cover conversion so it does not fall off going down the road. I see this new bike is going to be a money pit of add ons and extras Thanks PERK

I had the exact thing happen to me. Exactly 2 weeks, and click click click.
Now plug that puppy in every night.
