Harley Davidson Battery Tender
Harley Davidson Road King 2007?
In NJ, where it is real cold… I have my RK connected to a battery tender… Does it “help” or “hurt” to “warm up”, start the bike in the garage… I’m thinking, I shouldn’t because the oil is propably all drained to the bottom, every thing is very , very cold… and yet the battery is still being charged… Should I just wait till March before “hurting my baby” ? I figure in March the oil will be naturally warmer and thinner… What are your thoughts?
Please reply if you think you know the correct answer.
Here’s the low down. Yes on the battery tender or use a regular battery charger once a month.
On the starting, you either need to run it enough to get the oil good and hot or don’t run it at all. In the winter, it’s sometimes hard to get an air cooled engine hot enough to vaporize out any moisture in the oil from condensation. I had an oil temp guage on my bike for years and when riding in winter, it was hard to get the oil above 145 degrees which was nowhere near hot enough. By the time spring came, the oil was milky looking from the moisture.
So set on it or polish it, but don’t fire it up for a few minutes every time you turn around.
