Took it to my local interstate dealer and had it load tested.  he said the numbers looked ok but the machine he was using to load test still said to replace the battery.  (i dont remember what the numbers were exactly - 186?). Took it home and put it back on the bike; hooked up a small lightbulb(i cant remember what you call it - looks like a screw driver with a point and a clip that goes to ground - i use it when looking for a hot wire)... the light bulb lit when the gauges flashed and stayed lit after they were done.  There is a draw when the key is off but i dont know how much.</p></blockquote><p></p>
