New Battery Time?

Finally I got the front brakes sorted. Now the battery is giving up :roll:

1. Retains charge for weeks (enough to start engine).
2. When electrics left on (without lights) the engine wont turn over after 5-10 mins.
3. Wont start when real cold.

Calls for a new battery?

Battery

Hi,
If your bike was registered in 2000 and you battery is the original then it certainly doesnt owe you anything - best you replace it and save all the wear and tear on the starter motor (which I imaginge is a lot more expensive to replace than than the battery) and the hassle of a bike that wont start !!
