THe SV I plugged in once this year for the first time ever, just for the hell of it, it only charged for like 2 min.

the Buell I plugged in a few times cause I was reading about a lot of electrical issues, but never had any myself, and again, never took much of a charge either?
I'd say end of season, charge it up to full, then pull it and keep it somewhere warm is good enough.

When I'm now on it, the tender is.

My bud Don is offering a Battery Minder brand for a decent price. Plus it can charge up to 5 bikes at once. Real nice feature if you have the need, at least once you get a harness to hook them all up.
