Bandit 400 help electrical questions?

so i just picked up this bandit 400 for my girlfriend and its having an electrical problem, with the battery sitting on the bench by it self it has a good charge, then when i put the leads from the bike on the charge drops to almost nothing on the dc10 setting, when i turn the ignition key to off most of the charge is restored, minus about 15% of the original charge. any ideas, could it be just a random short in a ground or could it be the ignition switch , could the ignition switch be telling the solioid to fire. help please!!!!


thanks


Richard|||Take the battery to be tested for a dead cell, that can easily explain all your symptoms. Most places do it free. There is no point in going further until you do that first.





Bear in mind that your voltmeter only reflects the voltage, not the charge, or the internal condition of the battery.
