Same as you, the alarm drains the battery but coz the charger keeps topping it up it kills the battery I now leave the battery connected, the alarm goes into hibernation mode. I simply give the battery a charge every month or so. I've now had this battery for 4 years whereas they were dead every 12 months Love the colour scheme of your FZR _________________ AKA Bald headed b'stard Back to top nuggitt Moderator Joined: 22 May 2009 Posts: 5613 Location: North Yorkshire Posted: Fri Mar 25, 2016 8:28 pm    Post subject: I'm with you with the stone chips compo.

I just give each of my three bikes an overnight charge every few weeks throughout the winter and never a bother with batteries lasting years.
