Default Battery life??

Ok to say I am impressed is an understatement ... I have owned my F3 ten years now since brand new ..now I know she has low miles which may count but I am still on the original battery ... I just keep expecting it to die but no!! ... without fail even if the bike has not been started for over a couple of weeks she fires right up no problem ... when this battery dies I will buy another Yuasa in a heartbeat :-) :-) :-)

How long do you get out of your batteries?? ... I have heard the later sport bikes are less because they reduced the size a lot for weight saving etc ...

I went to 8 years, then when my reg went, I assumed it was the battery 1st off, so replaced it, which just added to the expense. Yes Yuasa are the battery, period.

I think approximately 19 - 20000, (about two years ago), so have only done a piddly 5000 since. I'm on 25448 right now, but should have 700 more on it this week-end.
