Same here I have had some batteries last longer it just depends on if you keep them chargedMy '06 Battery lasted until 2009. Never put a "tender" on it. (Lived in Savannah GA. at that period...) But, I do believe that batteries last longer w/a Battery Tender. I'd ride w/the OEM battery until it died. $$$!!
Still running 04 with 86,000 on it with orginal battery. Battery check shows 12.96.Do you think it would be time to change the battery for this coming riding season to be on the safe side?Your opinion appreciated
Thanks

Plan on 2-3 years if you bought a replacement Yuasa. The replacements you get are NOT the same as what our bikes came with.I should be good to go now for another 5+ years.:biker:
