Default dying battery

Pretty sure my battery is dying.

Havent ridden since beginning of Nov. but I've been starting it up at least once a week and letting it warm up. Never hooked it up to a battery tender...

went to start it up today and it would turn over, although it SLOWLY tried to. pretty sure the battery is almost dead. The headlight, odometer, and neutral light all light up but the bike will not start.

Is it too late for my battery? Can I just hook up the battery tender now or will I need a new battery come spring?

You should be ok w/ hooking up to a battery tender. Once charged, if you can, get out for a short ride to make sure its fully charged. Then, maintain the charge from now on.
