Winter Storage?
My new 06 SG will be in cold storage next winter. I most likely will remove the battery and use a battery tender to keep it fresh.
When I re-install the battery will I have to re-program the alarm?
Will I have to use that long drawn out procedure listed in the DIY?
I see that says for 2003 bikes is it the same for the 06's?
Will the ECM need to be reprogramed?

RE: Winter Storage?
There is a short procedure you use to reset the alarm after battery disconnection. It is in your owners manual and takes a few minutes.
No programming will be lost so you don't have to go thru the complete reprogram/relearn procedure again.

Takes way more than a few minutes. More like 30 plus according to the info in the DIY section.

RandyD123 , why dont you just install a battery lead on the battery terminals and hook up the battery tender in the bike? It wuold be much easier that removing the battery.

This is what I would recommend also.

To reset it after a battery disconnect is just a few flips of the ign switch and the turn signals. Look in your owners manual
