Use it all the time when I will not be riding for a bit. Swear by a Tender and wouldn't go without one (plus cheaper than a new battery)

I use one, had the battery on the tender the whole time it was out of the bike, maybe a month, and now it's still working good.

I always use them on all bikes and cars that are not daily drivers. Batteries will last years and always start. Xlnt investment.

Yep. Used to have the harley pos it worked great for 2 years my brothers same thing stopped working after 2 years. Just bought the "battery tender plus" a month ago it comes with a ten year warranty isnt just a plastic pos. Got it off ebay from motobatterys out of Jacksonville florida very good puchase and fast shipping.

I have only used them when the bike is in storage and the battery is in the shop, I'm thinking about using full time next season

I don't go more than 2 or 3 days without riding in the summer, but in the winter I keep mine plugged in.

Got it on the cheap from Walmart. It has indicator lights when 'charging' and 'fully charged.'
