Pull Battery for winter?
Do you pull your battery out of your bike for winter, then charge it in your basement? Or do you leave a charger\maintainer on the battery while it is outside in storage?

I keep a Battery Tender on all winter because I ride when conditions permit - damn the cold! - my bike was made to be ridden and I was born to ride...

I plan to pull my battery. My bike won't fit in the garage with two vehicles so I have to store it somewhere else where there is no electricity or light (for solar charger). So I will pull the battery and keep it in my basement, provided I can get the battery out without getting too pissed off. Looks like a royal PITA to remove the battery.

Hummm......I'd put the vehicle outside, but I guess if you get a lot of snow and ice that would be a pain.

Live in Michigan. I don't want to scrape windows for the next 4 months. I'm thinking about riding the bike right through the front door and storing it in the family room. [sm=goodidea.gif]
