I have been trying to decide if a battery tender is somethig I want and so i asked a buddy who races and works on bikes and owns a zillion of them....he told me to totally use a tender for the winter because the bikes wont charge the battery at idle so starting it in the garage would do more harm then good. (plus I started to think that 5 min might generate condensation that will also be bad for motor and exhaust).
Is this true? I have no reason not to believe him, however I havent seen anything in all the debates about tenders and trickle chargers.....
Leave the tender leads on and having a quick disconnect seems waaaay nicer than pulling the battery...plus if its nice id like to take a spin. Especially if the battery will not charge at idle.
