i've never used a tender and other than the first dead battery, i've never had a problem starting my bike.
I've had good luck with this too. If I skip a weekend though.... well, after sitting for 3 weeks once, I had to roll start it. :wink:

Thanks the Mike for the charger. I let it soak for about 10 hours. The text on the battery said to go 5-10 hours for full charge. I put the battery back in and the bike fired up fine. I will try it again this afternoon to see if we still have juice.
So no need to replace the battery?

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
It seems. I am pretty shocked.
Before I charged it, the bike was totally unresponsive. (no lights or buzzing of any type when the key was in)
Since the charge, it has fired up right away twice now. I am still waiting for the battery to shit on me and strand me somewhere, but I will continue to roll the dice until that happens.
That is the plan. The new job allows me to commute more on the bike so it will get plenty of exercise.
