I suppose there is a chance that between 1998 and 2001 when I brought it (01) there could of been a battery change but I was given all the receipts when I brought it. I drained it once back in 2012 trying to start it with knackerd plugs after it being not used for a few weeks so after that I brought the CTECK charger which brought it back to life and then as an optimiserand its been on it ever since after each ride.So from 2001 to 2012 it was never on the charger / optimiser and the bike only about 1000 miles per year BUT they were all non traffic "fun" miles so no silly stuck in traffic ticking over type stuff.Touch-wood the battery seems as strong as ever and I only need to go near the start button and it instantly fires up.
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
