Hi There

I just picked up a 1984 CB650SC Highthawk..
The battery seems to loose it´s power if left for more than a week without running,,,
When I put a conductivity meter on the positive lead with the battery disconected and ground the negitave I see conductivity
even when the ignition is in the off position.
The reading is higher in the on position,
Does anyone have any idea if this normal, I would think not..
Are the Ignition switches prone to do this after so many years
or should I look else where..
Thanks in advance for any light someone might shine..

Derek
