I think about what may affect the CPU. Thnx   2009 Thunderbird 1700 Big Bore  Author  Post     Linkdog  Thor Reg.

You will lose the info on the speedo but I would have that than a corroding and very weak battery connected.   Never drink from a cow with one udder! 2010 1600 Blue&White ( of course ) Long TORS and HP filter.  Author  Post     MotorMac  Jupiter Reg.

Or, better yet, RIDE it when you can (or both). That bike should be out on the road for all to see, with all you've put into it.    Author  Post     AZCactus  Taranis Reg.

I'll take a pic of the mileage should info be lost. I thought about disconnecting either the neg or pos wire too but as you said the battery may be corroded (unfortunately no trickle charge).   2009 Thunderbird 1700 Big Bore  Author  Post     Linkdog  Thor Reg.

Whatever you lose by disconnecting the battery will be lost the instant you disconnect power. No harm in that. Whatever settings that are lost (time, trip mileage, etc.) will be reset to default values.    Author  Post     AZCactus  Taranis Reg.
