Im going to go over all the wires and stuff
anybody ever have this problem before? My bike is a 99 zx6e
thanks in advance

well dont know how yours is wired BuT --what i have seen many times is the diode in the alternators voltage regulator is back leaking and > its like a trunk light on all the time < the charging system still works but it drains the battery some times in a day -- what i have done for guys with no money is to take the direct line off the battery from the regulator and put it to key on instead __ again dont know if yours is wired this way or not --jz
