Should I remove the battery?

[rubberhedgeho...]

Hey everyone.

Since it's the season of Good Will I have family obligations which mean that I will have to take my car and visit my relatives.
I'm going to be leaving my bike in my unheated and slightly draughty garage for about 2 weeks.

Should I remove the battery over this period?
The bike is a 2010 Hornet and has so far shown no problems with the battery voltage level.

Thanks all!

2 weeks?


Petrol will go off in that time.

Better take off the wheels too incase they get nicked.


But seriously.

Cheers guys.
Sorry if it seemed a stupid question, but this is my first bike and I don't want any issues when I come back to it.

I was actually more concerned that I hadn't moved my car for a week and it took about 30 seconds of the starter motor running before the engine started.... maybe it's time for a new battery for that now!

Buy an Optimate and keep it on charge when you're not using it
