I wanted to create a seperate post for this due to importance.
This may be common knowledge but I have to admit I wasnt aware of it.
One of the most expensive parts that was replaced on my MC recently was the ECU. The guy said this had likely been damaged by jump starting it (which I had been doing alot with recent battery issues).
Has anyone else heard of this? Obviously if you ever do get battery issues and you need to jump start it I assume there is a proper procedure that needs to be followed? Perhaps in the handbook?
Also, I prefer not to take mine out in the winter but now worried that if I leave it too long that I might get more starting problems, I dont have a power point in my garage so cant use a trickle charger. Suppose I will just need to start it up every couple of weeks.
Does anyone else store theirs away for the whole winter?
