Fitted a Touratech cockpit cover 2, the one with the socket dohickey, the weekend. Had to remove the tank, not to much of an effort, only the wiring etc on the left that had to be done carefully. This socket has a wire running directly to the battery now.

Once finished and re-assembled I tried starting her..........no go :( the dash lights would come on and go off intermitantley but if you hit the starter but there is just a click, the engine warning light also comes on with the ABS light flashing, thinking low battery power. The current battery is about 3 years old, permanently linked to one of this CTek type mili amp chargers, but I must assume that even with this the battery can only last so long....any thoughts from experience?
