Fail :(

For the past week or so since we've had Ice and Snow, I've been running the bike in the garage for an hour or so to keep the battery life and keep it running.

However, today I made a school boy error, and went 1 click past steering lock and left my sidelights on, I went to work at 1pm, and got called at 5pm to say my alarm was going off at home. Battery is totally flat

I've always believed in a good piss take when somebody makes a daft cock up. So have your fun

I did that last year at college but thankfully only for an hour and the bike just started.. I always check now

But your better off just leaving the bike off and sticking the battery on an optimizer That is what I'm currently doing.

Running it in the garage would have killed the battery eventually anyway (or you ) Like said above stick it on charge or just leave it if you are going to use it again after the snow. Should be fine for a few weeks, some even go for a few months!

at least you did it at home in the garage and not in your work car park in the snow!

It's a 2002 Yamaha R6 I switched past Lock by accident and left Parking Lights on.


Edit: Am I going mad? I'm sure there was a post before this one that I replied to?

Who are you? You just seem to make random threads about leaving your lights on.

I did this before, no need to tell everyone. Not much of a fail and to make 2 threads is even more retarded.

Sort your life out.

Why were you running it for an hour at a time?

I never had a power in my garages but would remove the battery and charge in doors, or move the bike so that an extension cable could be used to charge with the battery in the bike.

Apart from not charging your battery, running your bike like that actually creates condensation in your engine and will cause damage.
Just take the battery off and put it on a trickle charger.
