Hi folks,
Well after nine years faithful service the original battery in my 2004 Fazer 1000 has decided it no longer wants to hold charge and start the bike. It has done well even having been left connected to the bike with the Datatool 3 on for 6 months in 2008 (it was flat but after being started and a 100 mile run worked for another 4 years!)
Qn is what to get to replace it and from where, the Yuasa replacement is close to £80 which if it lasts for 9 yrs is not bad but having been out of work since last July is a bit steep at the mo.
Any thoughts from you guys who have replaced your batteries recently???
Cheers
Tommo
