- January 18, 2009, 04:28:01 AMLiving in SoCal, I don't winterize my bike. I usually just go out and ride it around the block about every two weeks and everything stays in good working order. However, we did have a couple days where it was very cold and I guess it was too much for my battery to handle. (I know, I know, I should have had it hooked up to a battery tender).
My wife's bike has a battery tender jr., but I never got one for my bike.
So anyway, I hooked my battery up to her battery tender until it showed a full charge, but then it still wouldn't start. Should I try jumping it, or is it simply too far gone? I have a 1999 1500, so I don't think I'd be able to push the beast fast enough for a push start. It's a sealed battery, if that matters.
