I wanted to see if I could get members opinion on what should be the useful life expectancy of a battery on my 2003 ZX12r? It is the mfg spec'd Yausa battery and installed new in June 2010. I recently experienced a situation where it started right up, I rode it for about an hour, parked it, and when I came out to start it up again, it had no juice at all. Everything went dead. I turned the key off, waited about 60 seconds, turned it back on and it came back to life, fired up and the clock and odometer were reset as if there was a complete disconnect of the battery. I rode it 20 minutes back to my garage and it sat for a week before I went to start it again. It fired right up and I rode for 10 minutes to run and errand and when I came out the bike was turning over very slowly and would not bump start when attempted. I put my battery tender on it for about 12 hours and according to the tender it was over 80% charged, and it fired right up. I do keep the battery on a tender all winter. Any thoughts on where to start trouble shooting to figure out if it's the battery, charging system or something else? Thanks

Check the conections to the battery, sounds like a loose earth (ground). :thumbup:
Sometimes it is the simplest of things.
A mate of mine had the same symptoms on his BMW Adventurer a few months back, it took the bmw workshop 3 hours to find this was the problem :rotflmao:
