The Ever Flat Battery

I have an Optimate charger - with permanent link to I can charge without taking the faring off. When the battery seemed in need of a significant charge after every ride thought the battery was knackered. Got new battery. Problem persisted. Took battery back to specialist place where bought, they charged it & left it for a week - no loss of charge. Back on bike - battery almost flat after every ride - dare not stop more than 3 times or it is bump start job. When serviced mechanic said charging system was OK.

The problem seemed to start after I fitted the Optimate wiring.

Anyone got any suggestions?
