    A battery tender wont overcharge...you should double check the VRR. Things can get very expensive when they start failing.

    it's a good idea, to do a voltage check before you start bike, should have 12.5 - 13 , then keep volt meter hooked up & start bike check regulator working. speedo electric, gets the info from a sensor in gear box. I had a speedo on an 01 FXD stop & I replaced sensor, fixed it.
