Battery draining, any ideas?

Battery draining, any ideas?

Not using the bike much at the moment so when I leave it a few days the battery is down. Not totally dead, the fuel pump switches on, and I have lights, just not enough power to start. A few hours on the optimate and its grand, fires right up and if I start it every 2nd day its fine. Charge in the battery drops after 3 or 4 days. I’ve been over the bike twice, can’t find anything. The battery is new, reg/rec is working fine. The only thing I can think of is the pcb. It packed in a while back. I’ve no display at all on the clocks but would it still be drawing power or more power than it normally would than for just the time clock which is usually on? Bike is a VFR 800 fi, btw. Ta, J :thumbsup2:
