It means the stock batteries aren't really the problem. Any lead acid will hate being discharged repeatedly, so it you only joyride your bike once per month, you'll be replacing batteries once per year and jump/bump starting every month.
Real solution will be to get a cheap solid state mosfet regulator and check for leakage.
Alternatively, a cheaper but messier option is to put a relay in so the regulator is only connected when the ignition is on.
