Apologies if this is in the wrong place. Mod, please move if needed.
So I am a bad owner. My bike has been sitting in the garage and not ridden for a very long time. For giggles I went in to see if the batter would kick over- it is lighting the gauges and all that fancy stuff but no juice to turn the engine over.
The fact that it does light up bright leads me to think that if I can try to put this battery on a tender within the next two days, I'll be okay. I happen to have battery tender but I am not confident I won't burn down the garage I rent or damage the bike. I hear that I can keep the battery IN the bike and just connect the round connectors to the to power and then I don't have to take the battery out of the bike or off its own power. Is this true? Can I do this without burning down the garage? I rent this garage so I am going to have to unplug the automatic garage door thing and put in a power strip so I can connect the connector. I think I am smart enough to figure this out with a little guidance from the people here, if you would be so kind as to direct me.
Just want to be sure I can ride as soon as it is warm, instead of being upset I didn't put the battery on the tender when I saw it was going to be bad. I think I can still save it... Help?
