Also be aware that with a fuel injected bike you will need to have atleast 9.5 or so volts to even run the electronics for the bike to even run. so with the clock/radio/security it doesn't take long to run a battery down low enough to cause problems.

I have on 07 Heritage and have to keep it on a Tender. Security system does drain it. My suggestion is a battery tender, or better yet, since the weather there is not much of an issue....RIDE MORE OFTEN, LOL!!!

Have a competent dealer look at it. If no issues, keep it on a battery tender and you will be fine.

I would use a Battery Tender or a charger that you can put on @ 2amp setting that has Auto On Off..
