So a few weeks back, my R1200R wouldn't start. Classic dead battery moment! Unsure what was the old battery but I changed it to a Yuasa.
Now it starts like a champ now! Curious as to what the others here are using? how long have you been using your battery?
 
I've been running a Shorai lithium battery on mine for a while, it lasts longer and cranks faster, but a bit pricier. Anyone else rocking lithium?
 
Yuasa is a winner really, reliable and long lasting based on my experience. Shorai and Motobatt are decent ones too like @Powerrr2 and @miataistheanswer mentioned. Typucally, lifespan really depends on usage and storage, but you'll get 2-4 years out of a good battery with proper care
