There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

That is a good idea and it won't hurt anything. Also a good idea to top up the charge, if you have a charger, before putting it away.

A very good ( & car smart ) friend of mine has Always stored His batteries inside His house over the winter on a smart charger ( ie a maintainer type ) …. He has had numerous batteries that have gone over 10 years old on numerous occasions ( over the past 50 years ) …. Batteries that I have purchased DRY and then filled and properly done the initial charge have gone 8 plus years ….. good luck …. Mike

Back in the 1960's I would remove the batteries from my bikes and bring them in the house for storage. Did not have any garage in those days. Bike sat in a metal outbuilding.
Move ahead to 2000. Bought battery tenders and added heated garage. Ride the bike for at least a half hour, add stabilizer to a full tank of gas, park the bike for the season, put battery tender on. Start up in the spring and drive.
No engine warm ups recommended unless you are going to take it out for at least a half hour drive.
It is your choice...either option will work fine. :yes:

i brought it inside. really quite easy to remove.
i was concerned about lack of power creating problems beyond loosing station presets. i assume there is some NVRAM to maintain the critical settings like mileage and key programing.
i brought in the seat(s) to protect against rodents and stuffed metal scrubbies in the exhaust and air intake. parked on corrugated plastic etc.
thanks for the help
