I agree with your neighbor, I had the same problem. I took thejiffy stand off and Ilay the bike down on a rubber mat. It solved my problem. The battery now stays fully charged.

Tell him it comes with a genuine Harley Davidson sealed battery, therefore it can not drain out when it is leaning on the jiffy sidestand.... (What comes around goes around..fight fire with fire... baffle him with bull...you get the picture....)

I dont know about on the bike
But I have been in the Auto business for 25 years and you NEVER store batteries on concrete, always use wood underneath them so they dont go bad
