The original battery on Liz's Fazer 1000 lasted 14 years. Replaced it with a Yuasa.
Bike is always on an Optimate type of charger when not in daily use.
I'm a believer in these things - similar treatment with my Aprilia RSV and it's original battery lasted 10 years.
Our 2003 Fazer 600 hasn't had it battery changed yet (also has Optimate connected whenever it's not running).
But, even with the same treatment, my FJ 1200 seems to need a new battery every 5 years or so - no matter what type.
Always wondered why my electricity bill was a bit high (nothing to do with the 400 watt security lights that are constantly going on overnight due to all the bloody cats, squirrels, foxes etc that come into in the garden (or run along the fence).
