If you have something electrical staying on and draining your battery you should be able to see it when you hook your battery cables up.If there is arcing when you are first touching the cables to the battery,that is a sign of something pulling current.I cant think of anything on a bike that would draw at all times.If anyone else has any insight on this i would love to know myself.The only possibility i can think of is if your ignition switch/kill switch is allowing current to flow at all times.In that case,constant power to the points with the engine not running could burn the points up. Any possibility that you just accidentally left the ignition on? That would make for an easy fix
