It's going to depend on the make and quality of your tender. A decent tender will not overcharge your battery and will "float" or "maintain" the battery. A cheap tender will potentially charge until dry. I have a decent tender and essentially leave it connected from the start of winterization until the spring [with an occasional week long disconnect].
My daily rider rarely sees the tender, the other bikes are always on one if I am not riding one of them...
Correct there. Your daily rider doesn't need it. I put my other bikes on tender every couple of weeks and note how long it takes for them to go from charge to maintain. Rarely more than a couple of hours.
