I usually leave the battery in my Mustang all winter and it always starts in the spring. Same with my bike but I ride it all winter so I guess that doesn't count. Just make sure the battery isn't frozen and put it on a trickle charger and it should be fine.

dont ever run the bike w/out a batery in it. if the battery was fully charged and full of acid then its probably fine. i left my 800 battery in all winter w/out starting and it started up. your charging system is for more maintaing the battery then as a charger but it will do it if you run it long enough and above idle.
