Quote:How much are new motorcycle batteries these days?
I believe in "the law of unintended consequences" which always bites you in the butt whenever you think you are doing something good. A guy at my marina always took his instruments off the boat after every trip. No one had ever had anything stolen from the marina, but he wanted to keep them safe. As the instruments were being carried to the boat one time, they were all dropped into the water by accident. A diver was hired at great expense to retrieve them and they were never the same.
Leave the battery in the bike whether you trickle charge it or not.
All the things that could happen if you take it out are:
1. You drop it.
2. You short out the whole bike.
3. You start a fire in the bike which burns down your entire house.
4. I could go on, but I won't.
