if you could work out what the actual drain on your battery is (bike battery) you can then work out how long between charges on the leisure battery, takes a bit of working and quite a bit of time to find which circuit/system on the bike is taking power whilst it's sitting there though (tbh,it's not worth the hassle if connected up to a piggy back battery) but useful to know whats taking power whilst asleep after the alarm system etc , just in case theres a parasitic drain on it somewhere else that can be adressed+fixed.
 
Testing before there didn't seem to be much in the way of drain (the BMW is heavier drain). Mostly down to the bloody great twin cylinders! Always a problem with my old Aprilias, need a decent, fully charged battery and a proper (aftermarket) starter solenoid. They used to work on the principle that I got 3 attempts, if it didn't start on the 3rd, I'd have to jump start it! The KTM seems to be the same
