Yes, but you need to add a charging connection to the battery. If you buy a trickle charger, most of them come with a pigtail that you can attached to the battery and simply plug in when not in use. I keep most of my bikes on a battery tender when I'm not using the bikes much. I find the Sport to be really good on batteries. If your battery is several years old, it may just need to be replaced.

Cheers,
