The OE Yuasa on my CB only lasted four years and it was nursed on a Battery Tender when not ridden. On other bikes, I've gone 7-8 years on so-called "cheap" aftermarket batteries from Amazon. YMMV.
I'm in agreement. These newer factory-sealed YTZ batteries from Yuasa may not last as long as batteries that you fill yourself. I had to replace one on another bike after 4 years that, like yours, was on a battery tender all the time.
Although I know you probably mean the batteries that have acid packs that you seal off, I remember even old style batteries with separate fill caps often lasted 6+ years.
