My bike is a 2006 with the original battery in it still and I'm on a fence about replacing the battery. The battery has to be at least 5 years old. Now my car battery went last summer and I got 5 years out of it. Because of that i'm thinking the same thing might happen with my bike's battery. I'd like to avoid a "stranded in the middle of nowhere" type situation because my battery died. Do you guys think I should go ahead and proactively replace it or do you think I got plenty of life in the battery?
1) Battery has always been kept inside my garage which is kind of temperature controlled (never seen it go below freezing in my garage).
2) During off season it stays connected to a battery tender so that it always has a full charge.
