Hello,

New to the forum. I ride a 2016 R1S track only.

I wanted to share some info on Woodcraft Key Eliminator as I had ongoing problems of battery dying after a couple days of not being on the charger after this was installed at the end of last season. I was not able to find any info on this being a problem or any reports of other issues after talking to woodcraft.

What was discover was that the is a significant draw from the selector wheel on right side controls that seems to be the parasitic drain which varies when this is moved even when the bike is off. There is one white connector on the Woodcraft harness that has a red and yellow wires that connect to white connector with brown/blue and red wires on the OEM connector/ harness. Solution is to switch the red on the woodcraft harness to connect to brown/blue on OEM harness, and yellow from woodcraft harness to connect to red on OEM harness. This eliminates the draw from the selector wheel.

This would have been easier to describe with pictures however I need to figure that out.
