Re: Battery spark
You will get a spark when hooking the cable up. There is a small draw when first connection is made.

Re: Battery spark
Well this is a pretty strong spark and then it sounds like a relay or something is opening and closing.

Re: Battery spark
Time to isolate the circuit that is drawing the power and see if it is normal. Try pulling a fuse at a time and see where the draw is coming from.

Re: Battery spark
Should be only one main fuse panel unless some inline fuses have been added. Unplug the voltage regulator and test it again.

Re: Battery spark
Do you have a radio and/or a clock on this bike? That would light the light.
