ajenda07 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Hey guys, my bikes been sitting my garage for about a Month now. Its been pretty cold the past few weeks, below freezing. I tried to start it up to add fuel stabilizer and ride it around to work it into the engine, but the bike won't start. I have an automatic battery charger (battery tender) I want to hook that up to jump it. My questions are: How long should I charge the battery for before riding it, and is it possible that some fuel has froze somewhere in the bike and would starting it up with that possibility be potentially harmful for the bike. Thank you guys very much, my motorcycle knowledge is low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnakay Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 if its a gel battery you'll be very lucky to revive it. it wont hold charge for long..well not in my experience anyway. if it is a normal battery charger,then when green light comes on switch off. if its a trickle charger ..battery tender leave on. https://rideapart.com/articles/fix-5-common-bike-issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajenda07 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Sorry that was a little confusing for me, I appreciate the response though. It is a bikemaster automatic battery charger. And the bike battery is the stock one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugeyes Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 When you say it won't start, do you mean it doesn't crank? The fuel don't freeze so don't worry about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
