yeah did the maths too and lasted about that Smile
not ABS but ill be taking a closer look... I just did my resin poor on the project im doing and fooked that up :/ made too little.

Gonna wait an hour for that to set and have another go...

Ill be taking a good look at the stator tomorrow im wondering if salty moisture has some how got itsself in some connector causing a high resist short or something...

Wouldn’t cause the current draw.

Likely to get a long session with a multimeter!

All the best

So i fixed the bike.... maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At the very least I have found the part that was causing the drain. But not been able to find why...
Wriggling it as i was trying to remove the part actually resolved the issue... It appears the 60mA is part of a bootup process when battery is attached.

Even in this wind I noticed that the starter relay was clicking randomly... and my meter kept its 60mA, after the wriggles it went and stayed gone.

If i keep battery disconnected for a little while or turn on the bike with the battery disconnected (draining what power was in a cap or coil basically resetting the system)
and reattached the battery, id get 10ma for a second then jumps up to 60ma for a second or two then zero and stays there, I guess part of a bootup process and what ever
was wrong before kept cycling this process or something. Or at least maybe kept a relay coil live i guess...

I hate not fully finding the problem as it easily means anything could trigger it happening again. I didnt want to have to remove my tank and fairing to remove the relay
fully to do a proper inspection. Also I couldnt remove the main plug from it, i guess theres some corrosion there :/ I think on a more settled day Ill have a go remove it
properly clean up contacts and hopefully thats all it needed..... will see...
