You should also not store your bike on cement for an extended period of time as it can flatten your tires. I store my bike parked on a large piece of plywood.<br><b>References : </b><br> Battery Tenders are great and inexpensive.

Then nothing will be flowing through the "bike" to cause any possible problems! It is more important to put fuel satablizer in gas tank, so gas does not "rot and ruin your carb(s) and fill gas tank with "gunk" -- so that it all has to be disassembled (when you take it back out)--- so that you can use it again! Use STABIL- or some gas stabilizer mixed with gas to keep it preserved! Modern "ecologically friendly" gas is "garbage", - it starts to "rot" in about 3 months, - has ruined millions of carbs on lawnmowers and chainsaws - and other machinery -- they generally end up in "scrap", because the carbs (only) are bad, and they won't run! Then they are melted down and new stuff is made - and this makes pollution too, - so I don't really know how much total pollution it is saving us!<br><b>References : </b><br>old mechainc There are "trickle" chargers available quite cheaply that are designed to "Maintian the battrery", Disconnect the battery on one cable, or put it on wooden workbench (wise to use plastic container underneath it in case any acid should get spilled)!

Don't get a cheap one that doesn't have the automatic function or you will quickly "boil" the battery dry.<br><b>References : </b><br> Keep the battery on an automatic battery charger commonly known as a trickle charger.
