Laverda 750s Zane

Hello you helpful people. The sprag clutch is all sorted now, thanks to Tim in the States who very kindly sent me some of the heavy duty springs. After not running for more than 6 months, I replaced the Sprag clutch spring, reassembled her & she started on the 1st press of the button. This has now highlighted a small (?) problem, the battery refuses to hold charge for very long  The battery is brand new, really good quality & is kept topped up with an Optimate. I know this means there is a leakage somewhere - are there any known areas I should be looking at? Thanks, Paddy

look for issues with the insulation of the cables. also check if the main key switch is really shutting the circuits down. They are known to cause problems, but mostly to the point where you can't start the bike anymore.
