hmmm... that's kind of interesting then... so say, worst case scenario, you can leave it for about a year and a half off a tender @ 5% discharge per month...
According to the Shorai guys at the motor show: unless you have a constant draw of electricity the battery can sit for a year and will be just fine.

If you have an immobilizer or something else that draws, you should disconnect the battery.

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Good policy anyhow on a monster in storage since it is so easy to access.

as a follow up I got a chance to ride a little bit last weekend and wow.   I can't attribute it all to the battery, but between the 6 lbs lost in battery, 6lbs lost in exhaust cans and the new DP racing ECU... my 696 is like a new beast.

Got my Shorai in the post last night, and installed it this morning.  Bike fired right up once installed.  Too bad it was such a pain in the ass to get to.

Think of it this way: for less than $100 you drop over 8 lbs from your bike. How many mods can do the same for that amount of money? And no, getting rid of the exhaust cans does not count!  [cheeky]

I was looking for a LFX18A1-BS12 but they seem to be out of stock everywhere I try.  Where have you guys been buying them?

With a Duc with an immobilizer, and a BMW with an LCD clock, are there any issues with just leaving the bike plugged into a battery tender with a Shorai?

thanks for the suggestions, but tried all those, everyone is fresh out.  must be a popular item, or someone is having production/distribution issues...

indeed. tried shorai directly?

might give 'em a phone call for ETA. urge them to either sell direct to you or to put your favored supplier higher on the fulfillment priority list.

haven't tried calling them, just checked their website.  the website actually let me put it in my cart, go through the entire checkout process, then when i hit "submit" it just removed it from my cart saying it was out of stock.  i did see on some reseller's website a note saying that the US distributor was fresh out and nothing would be available before mid march.
