Unhappy My M50 Battery Keeps Dying!

Hey everyone

With the riding season coming to a close, im maybe riding my bike every 2-3 weeks and each time I go down to get a ride the battery is DEAD. Im talking so dead that it doesn't do more then make a clicking sound when I try crank the motor over.

Is there something wrong with the battery, or how long can a bike last with out turning it on? as i said, i havent winterized it yet so it should be ready to go anytime I want. I have an alarm system on the bike but i checked before with the manufacturer and they said the alarm takes up almost no juice whatsoever so I dont see how that can be the problem.

Is there a problem with my battery or do you really have to ride more often just to get it to go? My brothers MT-01 doesnt seem to have this problem....
