How often do you replace your battery??

Mine is now 3 1/2 years old and at the time I usually replace them (3 yrs.)....but I was wondering how long does a battery really last???

Going on a long trip next month and wouldn't want it die along the way.

Just replaced my Daytona battery a month ago and that was pretty much 3 years to the day!

I change it when it shows signs of struggling.

Both our curvys were on the original batteries, and reg/recs come to that.:)

One was 5 years old and 50k, the other 7 and 30k.

+1

But if my bikes are off the road for more than a few weeks the battery gets hooked up to a charger. (For about 5months in the case of the GSX)

SV battery is OE and 6yr old 20k+ , GSX14 is OE too and 7yr old with 52k on it.

Never any bother.

When the reg/rec cooks it.

Never needed to change a battery on a bike I owned for any length of time. Changed my DRZ battery after buying it 2nd hand, because it died almost straight away!

My bikes go on the Optimate if not used for a couple of weeks.
