dodgy wiring? arrghhh

oh bugga

just want to go out the Ten, hit the start.....click,click,click,click,click....."blood y dead battery"!!!!!!

im meant to be ridding to France on thur

but,i fully charged it using my optimate either friday eveing or thur..cant remember. so thats either 48hrs ago, or 24hrs ago. i put my meter on the battery and it said 11.4v!!!

I have done some small wiring on the bike

1) i cut of the yam dash board connectors that my old Oxford heated grips were wired to. i replaced the connectors with bullets and wired my AMPS sat nav cradle to using the red wire (with a inline fuse) and the small black one. The other 3 i ignored.

2) one of my number plate light cables snapped, so i just tapped up both ends and left it.

3) soldered a wire onto the live rear brake light, taped the end up and just left it. i did this ready for a relay for when i get round to putting in the aux fuse box.

i know my battery isnt great but it wouldnt discharge that quick, hasnt before. have a cocked something up?? seems to me like something has drained the battery?? the bike hasnt been ridden for about 2 - 3 weeks but the battery has been fully charged a few times, and partially charged onece or twice. (and like i said at the start, fully charged 48hrs ago)
