[QUOTE="fatcat216v2, post: 1374124, member: 110056"] Hello. I have a dr200se. I have an opportunity to do some winter ice riding come Feb. I do not have a heated garage- just a carport. It is likely I may not get a chance to ride between now and then. I replaced the battery at the end of summer after having stored my bike in the carport unwinterized. I had not ridden it more than once in the previous year. Out of curiosity I had started it in the spring, but wasn't able to ride, and depleted the charge.. After that initial start, I could not get it to hold a charge enough to start it despite multiple attempts to recharge it..... So- new battery. My question is: 1.) Do I leave the battery attached to my trickler/recharger or will this potentially just ruin the battery for holding a charge? or 2.) Once it gets cold cold, would it be better to take the battery off and bring it in the house until I can ride? (ie. through January until the ice is thick enough to ride.) or 3.) Any other suggestions that don't involve me putting the bike in storage ...If it stays dry I may be riding through December once the bullet shooting bambi killers get out of the woods and I am only dodging arrows and deliverence type serial killers. Thanks in advance for any tips. [/QUOTE]
