[ST] Weekly Charging of Battery needed...Explanation?

["Dan Brown" <dabrown@xxxxxxxx>]

Firstly, Rick, been away for a while and just saw about the
crash.  Trust you're OK as Janice mentioned a new Tiger had your
name on it...

Back to my problem.  My ST requires recharging every week or so.
My riding is mixed, highway speeds and city driving; not
excessive in either mode.

I brought the battery in to be load tested and was told it was
fine and the bike starts up strongly after a charge.

Sometimes, however, when I press the start button, there is
....nothing....just peace and quiet.  When I instinctively
(immediately) press it again, the engines turns over and starts.

So, my non-mechanical brain starts to think intermittent short.
But where to start to look?  Could it be something else?

In all other respects, bike is functioning as expected.

TIA,
Dan
