    Suzuki GS 550L
    I own a 1982 suzuki gs 550L. I put in a new battery and stator. The battery was fully charged as the manufacturer indicated. I tried starting the bike and it kept turning over but never started. The battery was drained within 5 minutes of tryiung to start it. I jumped the bike with my car and it started right up. I could shut it off and turn it on as many times as I wanted while it was warm. Once the bike cooled, SAME PROBLEM. Something is draining the battery and I don't know what! Sadly, I'm getting quite fed up with it, since this is the second battery I am on thinking it was the problem. I changed the stator thinking that was the problem. I wish my problem was the infamous ignition but I got thrown these problems instead. ANY HELP IS WELCOME.

    Dumb question, but are you using the bike's choke?

    Easy question... YES. Can't miss it on an 82 suzuki gs 550 model, itz on the clutch handle.
