Both my previous Gen 1's had Meta 357 alarms and both sucked my batteries dry. Ended up getting them taken off.
Cost me 1 hour labour at my local independant dealer. Yamaha quoted me £400 for a new loom + labour......yeah right.
My Gen2's OEM battery lasted 2 years (no alarm). Fitted a Varta last year and it lasted 13 months, even on an optimate. Fitted an OEM Yuasa last January and this failed last month. Turned out it was a faulty battery which was replaced under warrenty this time.
Incidentally got a Yuasa YTZ014S (for the Gen2) battery for £60 (RRP £120) from Tippetts Honda which was a bargin. Still selling at that price.
