as long as u monitor them, a standard battery charger is safe to use, and it wont take them extremely long to get the battery up to a level where the starter will engage in a very strong start-up.
after a warm up, go ride. bike's do have a charging system, but they're extremely small. my bike will require at least a 20 to 25 mile ride to completely charge the battery.

cold weather is hard on batteries that doesnt have a battery tender on them. it's highly adviseable not to allow a battery to discharge and freeze. if they get frozen, they're no good. and btw....mc batteries are a sealed unit. there is no water to check.

batteries only last a specific amount of time. have the battery recharged and see if it holds the charge. If it does, you're fine, if not, time for a new one. DON'T let the alternator on the bike recharge it from dead. Use a battery charger. The alternator is just there to keep it topped off not to totally recharge it.Im trying to sell my atv its a 04 honda 450r?
Get a new battery, once a battery has gone dead it's just dead.Always get a new battery on a mc, every 2 years.
The charging system is only designed to maintain the battery, not charge it up.
Any info about what price a 1985 Honda CR500 would go for?
normally bike batteries are like car batteries, they recharge as you ride, but it would be best to re-charge the battery first then try and ride it at least 2-3 times a week to keep it charged. good luck and keep it between the lines.pickin a right motorcycle for me (help)?
Dedends on the age of the battery and how dead it is.Batteries do not charge while you ride them,how ever the charging system on your motorcycle should.Trying to charge a dead battery while going down the road could cause electrical problems.My Harley is spitting alittle bit could it be coming from since I cut my baffles?
it depends on the bike and the year.....but older ones have a generator that keeps the battery charged just enough to keep it's rating up to snuff without heavey drain, because let's face it motocyles aren't running interior lights or stereo's, newer bikes have alternators or a newer style of gererator they are efficient and last longer. but to leave a battery(any battery) in the cold they will dis-charge, just from sitting. there is a trick though: if you want to leave a battery in a car, bike, whatever just disconnect the positive+ terminal of the battery this will prevent the battery from dis-charging through the bike's electrical system and will in turn save the battery, but if it is bitter cold i suggest removing it from the bike and bringing it into the house.which bike have a milidge of 80kmp and 15cc engine?
try charging it with a trickle charger for a better charge, see if the battery will hold it, if it does try the above and see for yourself.
good luck!
My next bike..Honda 599. Opinions please...?
If you let a battery discharge until it's practically dead, then it's unlikely that the bike's charging system will bring it back to life where it will hold a charge. It won't hurt to try. Give it a low amperage charge (2 amps) for 6 - 8 hours checking the water level periodically. Then let the battery sit without using it for 24hrs. If the battery is strong enough to start your bike then it will be OK. If it won't start your bike, the battery won't hold a charge and will have to be replaced.i'm guessing it will recharge. put a trickle charger on it for the prescribed time period and see what happens. if you do need a new battery, take the old one with you- it's easy to get the wrong one and also there is probably a cash credit for the old one
