I think many, if not most, store their bikes in their garage and bikes get stolen out of garages frequently. I know a couple that had both their bikes (wedding presents to each other) stolen out of their garage while they were home sleeping.
There is no strain on the battery as long as it is plugged into a battery tender.

My bike is already "winterized" as much as its going to get. If it'll be more than a week that I'm not riding, I'll plug in the battery tenderno disconnecting the battery or security system required.
Most times the bike is ridden nearly every day, the longest it's sat in over a year was the two weeks when we went to Hawaii.

My dealer told me to do this when I go on the ferry in a few days, to stop the alarm sounding and flattening the battery, the ferry is 34 hours.
BUT, he hasn´t told me how to do it yet, sorry.
Will post when I know..............

I have a cable permanently hooked up to the battery, and a SAE connector with a cap to protect the terminal when not in use. Comes to get the bike winterized, I connect the tender to the battery via the SAE connector and alarm remains active the entire time. Can't be easier than that.
