Hi there i recently bought a honda super cub 125 (was second hand from dealership but used by them as demo bike and had done 100 miles when i bought it 2018 reg). I have had several problems with the battery since buying it and wonder if this is normal or what i can do about it (it is my first scooter).
1. bike died after 3 days of non use requiring jump starting
2. same again - jump started and battery replaced
3. went on holiday for 6 days and same thing happened
The bike has tracker and also alarm which they have told me will drain the battery but would it do it THAT much and if so why does honda put them on?! Any advice much appreciated

Alarm won't drain the battery that much. Tracker might, depending what type. If its one of the cheap ebay ones that can ping its location every minute or so, it will drain the battery fast.
If it's a proper one like a bike-trac, then it shouldn't be draining the battery.

Also possible the bike isn't charging the battery, but this is unlikely on something so new. What sort of tracker is on there?

I think its a good tracker - its a datatool trakking adventure. I think it was fit by Honda.

Yes, i do have warranty under Honda (have needed it for jump starting!) but does that mean i can return the bike? Or just for repairs?

V frustrating for such a new bike...

To get repairs under warranty there has to be something wrong with the bike - does 6 days with battery dying sound unusual or is this something that should maybe be expected with scooters? I'm not sure as is my first bike but seems unrealistic to think someone will always ride daily

""""does 6 days with battery dying sound unusual """""
Yes, it needs sorting.
Also who is the dealer?
