I noticed a while back that it took more than the usual time to recharge my OEM battery when off the tender for a week or so.
Since I didn't have any new accessories installed I thought it might be the battery.
The dealer tested it while I was in to get some warranty work performed and it tested ok.
The dealer said they found some corrosion on the battery connection which should be the culprit.
I left it off the tender while on vacation for a month and the battery was dead.

A friend of mine gave me a well maintained OEM battery he had swopped out for a shorai.
The same slow drain scenario started to happen.
I guess I could pull a fuse at a time and let it sit for a couple of days to isolate the circuit responsible for the drain.
Anyone have an issue like that in the past or a speedier idea for a fix?
 
my 2013 never had the issue - but i would ask how often it's used and if you ever turn on the dash without starting the bike -

last time i had that issue with slowly draining battery, it was because the battery was going bad after 3 years
 
Mine is a 2013 as well and has 10,500 miles on it.
I rarely turn on the dash without starting it
