Default Who Does This??

Wondering if anyone uses a battery tender with the battery still in the bike?? I was about to do this when I had a holy **** thought "what if this battery explodes and pours acid all over this bike". Should I be concerned about this??

No, they make a harness just for that reason. Charge away

Thats the whole point of it. I plug it in everytime i am not going to ride for a couple days. The security system drains it fast

I use mine all the time, while the battery is in the bike. Its kept my weak battery going good for two seasons now.. If I wasn't broke and cheap, I'd buy a new damn battery..

I plug mine in if the bike is going to sit longer than a day. My last battery lasted almost 7 years and I only replaced it for peace of mind. It was still working just fine, but I figured it was close to the end of it's trouble free life.

It's made to be used in the bike. Quit over-thinking things!!

I agree, charge away. I use mine anytime it will sit a few days.

When the battery is installed in the bike, it only gets charged on days ending in the letter "y".
