Not sure if you have an aftermarket tether switch installed on your machine but I have suspected the rectifier/ regulator, stator, or the ECU from the beginning. I mostly suspect the rectifier/ regulator or stator because people have had problems installing normally open tether switches in the past. From reading other post on either this web site or another one I know people have burned up rectifier/ regulators or stators before with an improperly installed tether switch.

You may have already read or you may be like me and have written some of these post but I hope they help.

This is about the battery drain problem
