dead battery :(

[fbmbmx]

Hi all was wondering how long a battery should hold charge when the bike is not being ran. I left my gsxr for a week and the battery lost most of its power, the bike wouldnt start but still have enough power to run the alarm and immobilizer. When i left the bike the alarm was not activated but immobilizer was, could this effect the battery? Thanks

you should really leave the battery on with a trickle charger so this doesn't happen in the future

the alarm is a top spec one, cost around £400 new. i have not even been activating the alarm when leaving the bike, only the immobilizer.

Bump start, take for a blast.

Repeat until you can buy a trickle charger/investigate the alarm further

Probably battery is not working as it should anymore, even in winter it should be OK for a couple of weeks.
If you aren't doing many long runs and usually have headlights on or they don't turn off it might not be getting enough charge without a trickle top up once a week or so.

Your battery is shit, buy a new one.
