yes   it died !
 
probably my fault,  but it died none the less
 
The bike went for to long with out being started so when I went to use it the battery had no charge ! and I mean no charge !  from then on the battery wouldn't take a charge  and was  " dead"
TO BE FAIR
 
it seemed to be fine when I first got it ! just make sure you get the right one ! I seem to remember reading a thread the other day and they were saying it had the wrong type ! it had a 12 in the model code instead of a 14 or something like that !

Yup,  MBT14B4 is the correct one for the fazer.  Have that on mine and all is good.  MBT12B4 will fit and work etc and is being sold as a fazer replacement by bike shops but it is not the correct fitment. Go for the 14,not the lesser 12
