Yes, but you cannot leave it for long periods of time or the battery will overheat and boil acid away. Normally a fully dead battery to a full battery should take about 2 hours to charge up at 40 amps.
Do you need to charge a brand new motorcycle battery?
One view: Some batteries come with a charge which may or not start the motorcycle. I have seen batteries come that are not topped off with acid, but the acid is sent in a separate container that you need to pour in. I would say in most cases that you need to charge or jump the new battery. Take it for a 10 minute ride and you should be good to go. Alternate view: When you put the acid in the battery it does charge itself somewhat, but not fully (perhaps only 75%). That is why it says to charge it, follow the instructions with the battery! When you charge it fully it makes the battery last longer. To charge the battery, you have to buy a battery charger and you need one that will only charge at 2 amps. A "smart" battery "tender" may not work as it may register the battery as fully charged. You need to use a simple (non computerized) 1-2 amp trickle charger. There are rules about the max rates to trickle charge, I've seen 10% of rated cold cranking amps (CCA). Lower amperage will be safer but take longer to charge.
What happens when you overcharge a 2001 harley softail?
Depends on if you unhooked the battery and what charger you use. Charging any installed motorcycle battery is a bad idea unless the charger is made to do so. It can destroy the charging system. The safest way to charge any motorcycle battery is to remove it completely and charge in a controlled environment. A burnt out stator, regulator and various other burnt electrical system items can result. You should also never jumb off a motorcycle using a car. Just overcharging the battery by itself can cause warped cells, case melting and could cause an explosion.
How do i winter proof my motorcycle?
To winterize your motorcycle, fill the gas tank with gas and put in some fuel stabilizer. Use a battery tender to plug the bike in and keep the battery on a charge and cover the bike to protect it form dirt and debris. Motorcycles should be kept indoors in the winter. I just put mine away for the season as well.

Never so long as ride it frequently. If not then it should be no more than one time every 4-8 weeks. If you find yourslef doing it more often, either the altornator is dead/dying or the battery is low on fluid/has dry acid. No such thing as a dead battery!
