re:

In my opinion, you should NEVER use a car battery to jump start your bike!
Due to the higher amperage level of the car battery, this can cause damage to the rectifier and other components in your bikes ignition system.
If your battery is draining, there is a short somewhere. I would chase the wiring harness and check for frays or chaffing in the harness where a conductive wire may be grounding on the frame...also...bad ignition switch?
