just wanted to pass this on in case anyone else is having an issue with their batteries going flat in a matter of days. I had been having this issue for years and could never figure it out. I would have to disconnect the batteries or they would be dead in no time.

My turn signals stopped flashing recently so I checked the fuse block and when I touched the flasher unit, it was hot to the touch. I replaced it and flashers started working again. It turns out this damn thing must have been in a fault state for years because since replacing it, my batteries are keeping their charge and there are no more issues with the batteries going flat.

Bizarre. Hope this helps anyone else having the same issue. My cruiser is. 24v model but I'm sure a 12v system could be affected in the same way.
 
Thanks, :flipoff2:
In my Hj60 the turn signal relay is replaced with aftermarket so maybe it was burned to (hazard lights always have power)

two wires from original turn signal relay to aftermarket 24v:
