8 years out of my YUASA, didn't recover from a four month layup, 0V and no coming back 
. If I'm honest I knew it was on the way 12 months ago but it always worked and kept healthy if you used the bike but you couldn't leave it too long without a top up. Another YTZ14S will take its place, there is a stockist 20 minutes from me so I'll be right very shortly. Although this bike gets little use in our wet winters, too much chrome, I've never had to regularly put this on a battery tender. I'll ride in filthy weather all day, no choice where I live but don't subject the shiny CB to the elements.
Update: The new battery was a Japanese Manufactured one :-)
