Default Power problems

Ok,, the m50 has been going dead if left more than two days of starting it. I have had the battery checked and is good. charged it till full and had diagnostic done on it. have checked fuses, where im leaving the key switch when getting off the bike and they all check out. not sure what could be draining this battery.
started up fine this morning and rode into work. it sat for exactly 4 hours till I got back on it and it was dead. It will try and turn over but just does not have enough juice. enough turns and it gets weaker. had to have someone jump me off today because for some reason i could not push start it.
anyone have any ideas of what could be doing this? have read the forums and have not come across this exact problem with battery.
only thing i have hooked to the negative side is the Fi2000r and side mount plate with the light on it. all lights are off when i get off the bike nothing is showing that anything is left on.
cant fix it if i dont know whats wrong with it. any help will be most appreciated!!

thanks
