My riding reduced drastically due to the pandemic and in Jun 2020, the bike would just not crank. I trickle charged the battery and got it to work again - but I was always concerned it would stop working when I was away from home.
I finally replaced the battery with a NoCo Lithium battery in Nov 2021 (around $100). No issues so far. I also got the [url=https://no.co/gbc007]GBC007 cable which would get you a pig tail connection for jump starting the battery using a NoCo jump starter.
Fortunately in a pinch, the CB1100 can still be push (or bump) started.

On the CB1100 it is not that bad. Of course, a down hill helps.
