Dead battery
Does anyone know why the battery always drains in my 2014 CVO breakout ?
The local dealer can’t find the problem... they went so far as to tell me “That’s the way they are ... you have to keep it on a battery tender”
Sorry but I can’t except that I’ve owned plenty of motorcycles, cars , trucks , law movers ... well you get the idea

Wow, that's not OK. One thing you could do to try to find it is disconnect the negative terminal, put a meter from the cable to the battery to check current, then start pulling fuses until the current drops.

Unplug everything, pull all fuses and breakers.
Now hook up your volt meter to batt.
Plug one thing in at a time until you find the draw.
Now just check the items in that circuit.
yo can do all this in 20 minutes and save thousands $$$$$$$
This is not that difficult.

I was hoping there was a common problem others had
dealer checked it 4 times while still under warranty supposedly installed new battery 2x
now its out and doing it again
its intermittent and only seems to happen a couple of times a year
And no I didn’t leave it on

Intermittent is going to be a pain to find. No common issue I know of, but maybe someone else will chime in
