Ok, so I left the bike outside and it started raining. Well, while I was out running errands in the car, Autumn called and said one of the lights of my bike was on. I think, "hmm, I have the keys in the bedroom so the bike isn't on..." She says she'll move it in the garage.
SO, I get home and check on the bike and the lights are still on the tiniest little bit. I cycle the ignition using the key and the battery is so drained it won't even light up the tach.
My guesses;
-Wet headlight relay causes fault and ignites the lights?
-Water somehow got into the ignition and shorted the power to on?
I haven't got another guess as the key wasn't left in the ignition in the on position so I don't see how the headlights could bypass the ignition switch and power themselves on.
This is going to be a serious pain in the arse if it isn't sorted by next week's trackday as I'll need to ride the bike down there and back...
