i'm pretty damn sure that battery tenders kill batteries sooner than just leaving them and putting them on a charger in the spring if they're actually dead.


the battery in my bike has NEVER seen a charger and is 9 years old now, never missed a beat.

My 02 still has the original battery but it has been on a battery tender its whole life....

Hopefully I won't have to winterize it for too long this year, but when I do the main things are oil change, full gas tank w/Stabil and battery tender. Last winter I did drain the water and add antifreeze, not sure if I'm going to do that this year.

That is because you obviously don't ride it enough.
