Hit the start button and *click*
I'm going to hope I just have a loose connection...
went to leave for work this afternoon (working nights) and I always let the bike warm up while I load all my junk up. Turned the switch on, flipped the kill button from stop to run, hit the starter button and... nobody home... it does click, and the dash lights will blink but she won't turn over. Lights look bright but it's harder to spot low voltage with LED lights nowadays. I normally park the bike inside my shop but due to a project of my wife's taking up space, I have parked the bike outside under my shed. It has gotten some rain blown in on it but nothing serious, and nothing I haven't been in numerous times on the road. I didn't have time to mess with it this afternoon so I got in the truck and came to work. I'll look at it tomorrow.
I rode to work Friday night and parked it Saturday early am when I got home, nothing abnormal. Business as usual. I didn't ride to work last night because of some thunderstorms blowing through. So the bike has only sat one day, battery was new in January.
Anyway, just venting more than anything. Bored at work and can't stop thinking about it hahaha. I expect everything to be fine when I check it out tomorrow. Worst case the new battery has taken a dump. Shat happens....

I would check charging before I worried about chasing parasitic draw. If I was going to, I would just disconnect the battery when parked for a few days, a few times, and see if the problem went away. Thats what people used to do with old stuff.
But first I would check the connection, if not that, charging.
