Cig lighter 12v socket for battery tender

Can the Forza 300 12v socket be used to hook up a battery tender? Is it always live or just when the key is turned?

Mind you, why do you want a battery tender? I've just restarted my Honda Vision after 3 months and it caught immediately.

The Forza will be parked soon for the icy roads. I have a small solar cell on the shed roof that will get plugged directly to the Forza. The really dumb thing is that in the winter the sun does not get above the mountain behind my house.
The DR650 got sold because I am a weak fat little old man who could not turn it around on a steep narrow gravel road. Various medical problems suggested that it was safer to stay out of the bush. I miss that bike.
