Title: Battery tender? HA!
Post by: scottpA_GS on April 09, 2006, 12:47:27 PM
Hey ...

I just pulled my bike out of winter storage today  :cheers:

I had taken the battery out in late Nov. when I put the bike away. Today; about 5 months later I put the battery pushed the button and Vrooom.. It started right up!

The battery sat in my basement on my workbench and I never used the charger that I bought. Thought I would give it a try with out and.. No problem!  :thumb:

Just thought I would share that :)

Anyway, Im going out to change the oil, drain the old gas, fill the tires lube the chain and go for a ride!  :thumb:

I thought I could get away with that this year too... but after a few cranks I realized it was not going to happen.  My water level was low and the battery needed to be charged for a while.  Since then she's been starting/running great :thumb:
