winter storage
winter storage
Hi every one. Live in Sweden. back in October put the Road king (2005) in the garage, for the winter. Did the mistake to not disconnect anything, i did connect the battery charger, but after some month the alarm key icon stop to flash. Now when is starting the season, the battery is charged (MGM battery) turn to start position, the servo start (weak sound, not the normal strong sound) click on start and nothing happens. the first thing i understand is because my ignorance i have **** something i spouse to prepare the bike for storage. i have check the internet, they say about fob battery, i have change that, nothing change. I have check the fuss they look nice. I do note that the alarm goes all the time. back in August could click on the fob and disarm the alarm , now i click it sounds like the alarm is disarm, i turn the key and the alarm starts, basically what ever i do the it will fires the alarm, so i have to click the fob all the time. I have try to reset the security with the on-off 2 times and 2 clicks on the left blinkers, nothing happens. In some how feels like the security system has block me to start the bike.

Even on a battery tender if you have a bad battery that’s too old it won’t help. to me It sounds like you just need a replacement battery.
to confirm this just jumpstart the bike. If it starts with a jump pack on it then you know it’s just the battery is weak.
