Well Gentlemen, I've discovered where I believe the power was being drawn from.
I have a cheap but effective GPS unit which I've got connected to a
Powerlet Handlebar Outlet Since I haven't been using my bike for the last six months, I obviously must have forgotten I wired the outlet so it remains live but still, if I didn't have the GPS turned on, why would it be drawing power? That one's got me stumped but whatever, last night I disconnected the GPS to see if any power was drawn from the battery. Well As It turned out, the battery lost no juice at all.
Then this morning I reconnected the GPS and even though it wasn't turned on, in 5 hours the battery's volt level dropped from 12.70 to 12.44 Volts which if I left it for a few days, it's not hard to see how flattened a new battery.
So there you go. All the fuss for nothing. Regardless guys, I can't tell you all how much I appreciate your replies to my questions. I have really missed being part of this forum but touch wood, you'll be seeing more of me and my bike in the future.
