What can be wrong starting up in spring?

I don't think I have to worry about anything being burned out or fried.

When the bike was running with full choke, the headlight was half dimmed and flickering a bit...  Same goes for the neutral and highbeam indicators.

I WAS a bit relaxed, but with new talk about the car's voltage being higher and might have damaged the bike's voltage regulator...  

It doesn't look like I'll be able to put the batt in this weekend...  I'm working New Years Eve and day...  Besides...  Snow is coming!

you suffer almost no chance of damage by jumping off a car.  Car's moving a little more amperage, but not enough to damage anything on a modern bike (gs is modern enough).

Just an update on this situation...

I was able to find time and warm enough weather to put the battery in my baby.  She works fine!

Tach - FINE
Engine Backfiring - GONE
Lights flickering - NOPE
Engine stalling - NOT ANYMORE
Still unhappy about the bike being in storage mode? - YEPPER!!!

glad to hear it...and I suggest riding in the cold.  I do...it's just as fun.

The coldest I've ever been was at 10pm on a rainy cold night.

My Hands - NUMB
My Legs - NUMB
Face - NUMB

Oh, wait...
Everything - NUMB!
