Battery Tender

I have a brand new motorcycle I plan to ride only on weekends. Do I need a battery tender for parking it during the week to keep the battery charged? Some rider friends suggested this.

 Battery Tender Not Necessary
by: Mz Mud Putter

No, you don't need a battery tender on a brand new bike with a new battery even if you are only riding on weekends. I've been riding my own bike since 1986, and the only time I ever had problems with a battery is when the bike sat for over a month without being charged, or the battery was over 5 years old.

 Good Idea

I think it is probably a good idea. I need to get one also. I ride usually on weekends only. Once when I had not ridden or stated my bike for a couple of weeks I had a very dead battery just when I was ready to ride. No fun.

I swear by my battery tender and I ride more than weekends!
