Battery Question ????
We are moving and sold our house sooner than expected and our new house is not finished yet. We are having to store all our stuff, to include the bikes. I have a climate controlled unit for the bikes. Do you think if I remove the main fuse the battery will stay up for 2 months (it's 3 years old and has always been on a tender)? Taking the battery out of my 18 heritage is a real pain in @$$, so I would rather not do that. I took the battery out of my wife's trike cause its easy. So far the weather has been good, so I have been able to go ride it, but that is going to change soon.
Thanks a lot,

And personally if a couple of months I would have starting fluid to spray in breather if it didn't fire up right away and then it will.pop to life very quickly! (2008 Twincan on ethenol)
My battery is original on a 2018 and she goes 2 months quite often when gone on ship "but" North Louisiana doesn't get to cold nor stay cold. Have never disconnected anything and or trickle charged and have yet for it to not start right away. My 2008 Twincam is just as good "IF" I store it with high octane non-ethenol as that makes HUGE difference!

You could use your car and a 12v car power inverter to power a battery charger for an hour or two if the bike ends up in storage for longer than you think. Just park outside the storage place and watch youtube videos or surf the internet while your bike is getting a little juice.
