battery charged

if it is a charger intended for a canbus system, leave the ignition on, engine not running, plug in charger, switch mains power on, wait about 10 seconds, switch bike ignition off. the charger and the bike should have introduced themselves and should be charging away.

hope i am right! you should see the light change on your charger, green power in, maybe red first as to battery condition and after some time, green there too(assuming the battery is charging). safe riding.working off memory, what with snow and stuff haven't looked at the bikes in weeks. if the thaw continues, might get out, just to check the bikes.

On an '09 bike you just plug it in - even with the ignition off.
