2007 R1200GS battery draining

[Moto316]

I have a recent issue with my battery draining if not put on the trickle charger. If I leave it off the charger it will drain to about 11 volts in 4 to 5 days and not start the bike. I have not had this issue in the past 10 years. It is a new battery, about 4 to 5 months old. The only accessory that I have wired to the battery is a Garmin Zumo XT, which I never leave on the bike. Curious where I should start looking for things that could be causing the voltage draw?

If XT power supply cable is wired directly to the battery it will drain. The little black inline plastic box is a 12v to 5v converter and has a parasitic load.
The cable should wired to switched power - the GPS receptacle behind the oil cooler using the corresponding plug ( https://shop.maxbmw.com/fiche/PartsDetails.aspx?source=catalog&vid=51556&diagram=ST_61 1 656 ) or hardwired to the 12v DIN receptacle which turns off in 5-15 min

I miss stated that I had the XT hard wired to the battery. I have it plugged into the GPS receptacle behind the oil cooler.

I once had a battery drain when a relay was not shutting down when the bike was turned off.

Do you have any other accessories connected directly to the battery?
