I have had my 1989 Honda VTR 250 for several years and been through several batteries. When new, the battery seems to work alright for a while, but pretty soon it decides that it doesn't want to hold a charge anymore. It seems to me that something is wrong with the electrical system with the bike but when I've taken it in these half-assed mechanics just keep telling me to get a new battery or be sure to ride for long enough periods to recharge the battery every time (which I do, in fact I just did about a 2 hour, 150 mile ride and the battery was dead when I stopped to fill up). It seems like the bike is actually draining the battery even when running-- is this possible? Or else maybe the electrical system is just leaking power all the time? Any ideas?
