We have experienced that on my son's Yamaha FZ-1, and it's something I can't explain, other than not even a BTJ can make a battery last forever and the one in his Yamaha was 6 years old. But for the most part, I trust BTJ's to keep my batteries at their best. When I get in from a ride, like I did 30 mins ago, I pull into the garage, turn off the key, park the bike on it's sidestand, climb off, plug in the BTJ, then remove my gloves, then my helmet. It's a ritual for me.
