    Hi all, hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction to look for potential issues.

    I have an 07 Tiger 1050. Every couple of days the battery has dipped enough that the bike won't start. I swapped ot out for a lithium battery to see if it would help. But, same issue after 2 days. I removed the factory alarm (known to drain) but still happens. Only. Other thing fitted is factory heated grips.

    Has anyone else had this problem??

    You have to have a short somewhere, check the pos cable coming off the battery then cables in and around headstock, inside lights and indicators. Use continuity meter as much as possible as things might not be visible to the naked eye, a long drawn out process, good luck
