Might be better to hang the bike from ceiling with rubber hooks then you don't have to worry about the gremlins or the grounding problem. You also get more floor space in the old car port.

I agree with your neighbor, I had the same problem. I took thejiffy stand off and Ilay the bike down on a rubber mat. It solved my problem. The battery now stays fully charged.
Yeah, butI bet your back hurts like h3ll every day from having to pick that bike up.

Tell him it comes with a genuine Harley Davidson sealed battery, therefore it can not drain out when it is leaning on the jiffy sidestand.... (What comes around goes around..fight fire with fire... baffle him with bull...you get the picture....)

I dont know about on the bike

But I have been in the Auto business for 25 years and you NEVER store batteries on concrete, always use wood underneath them so they dont go bad

Maybe this guy is thinking along those lines and it got lost in translation

And there is that thing where if you put rubber under your kick stand it will keep the cheap fasteners on the engine and allfrom oxidizing.
I've heard that one a few times around here... don't if it's true...don't care really.
