A trickle charger would probably be a good investment.

I agree, that's why I bought an Optimate III some years ago and keep the battery topped up with it :pokefun

Well that is probably the big problem. If you use an Optimate regularly how is it possible to tell if the battery is failing? (other than meter tests)
As a rule, I use an Optimate only if the bike has stood still for 2 weeks and largely discharged itself (or got very low). If the battery is a good'un it easily lasts a week between starts, it doesn't need an Optimate to hold charge for that long. Bad batteries do.
