At work we use Yuasa batteries in our offshore operations exclusively. They hold up well. When its time to replace my OE battery I'll be going with Yuasa.

Pretty sad , my stock battery in my 03 lasted 11 years, tested every year after 5 years, now they change them if you have any electrical problems on a bike if the battery is older than 2 years old.

The 2009 RG I owned went through 4 batteries in 6 years. Bike was ridden minimum 30 miles at highway speed per ride and at least 4 times per week. First two batteries bike was not on a tender. After everyone on the forum saying that was the cause, I purchased a tender. Last two batteries died just as quickly using the tender everyday. Never needed a regulator or stator (stator was replaced for a leak, but that is a different topic).
Some bikes just seem to eat batteries.
