Hey guys, I have a bit of a problem. I have an '12 and '13 pro RMK. Both sleds seem to drain the battery in 3 month or so when sitting. My '13 which has a 9AH battery had drained all the way down to 4 volts, my '12 had drained the stock battery down to 9 volts.
My previous Yamaha sleds never drained batteries, in fact I never kept them on a battery tender since AGM batteries take a long time to self-discharge, and they would always show good voltage after 6 months and fire right up.
I'm not looking for any advice on battery tenders, what i'm wondering is if anyone knows why the sled drains batteries when it is sitting, it seems like it just has a regulator and a solenoid connected to the battery.
