While its hard to say how long any will battery will last at 7 years its certainly got less years of service than more. Downside is you can buy a brand new battery and it can fail in short order or last a decade. You'll never know how long it lasts until the day you replace it. I will say if I were running a 7 year old battery I would also be carrying a mini jump pack as a back up.

This is off the MGNOC site. What's up with this? Two rallies same time next door to each other, literally next door. Clarification would be nice.

Oh, only 35 years old or so. Damn, a Guzzi is so expensive to keep up. 
There should be a way to renew those gaskets instead of forking out money for a new one every 35 years.

Fwiw, I get 8-10 years out of Yuasa's & Odyssey's. They're all kept on Battery Tenders during off season. I'm running Motobatt (yellow) in the ct70 & cl350, they're somewhere between 4-6 years old so i don't really know what their longevity will be. My v85 has a Yuasa but I got the bike used and don't know if the battery was properly activated so I guess I'll find out...eventually. IMO, any vehicle battery that lasts 5-7 years, with minimal care (clean, tight terminal connections & mounting, no great parasitic load, etc.) provided good service. However none of them like heat & vibration too much.

I think since MG's aren't the fastest selling brands many of them sit on dealer's floors with no attention. They get run down and then charged just before delivery. When I bought my T120, not one of Triumph's best sellers. The demo I rode was quite good but on the way home on my new one my first thought was it steers awfully heavily. When I got home and went over it the tires were at about 20 lbs. So much for setup and prep. A semi discharged battery and left that way for some time will damage it permanently.

Hi all Im just back from one of the many Anima Guzzista italian club ride 'n eat weekends, this time it was held in Toscana. Invited Seth, aka Anomaly who lives an hour away and he and his wife got a really cool reception. The fact that he brought to our barbecue a glass of wine they make, surely lubricated the proceedings. No Moly addition was needed. :) Ayways, talking with Giugliano, the club president, we had this idea of posting also here the donation campaign link for the maintenance of the Carlo Guzzi Memorial in Mandello. Not many know, but the initiative for the memorial came form the Anima Guzzista club, not from the municipality or Guzzi. Monuments need maintenance, municipality is contributing some, but not enough. If you are ever in Mandelllo and stop to take a picture next to Carlo, who's waiting for his riders to pass, im sure youll be happy to know inside that you are also a donor. We have collected already 1600 euro, objective is 2000... Link is in italian, but i managed to understand everything with firefox's built in page translator. Just press in "fai donazione" https://animaguzzista.s2.yapla.com/it/campaign-14978/detail/manutenzione-monumento-carlo-guzzi/14978

Hi I've finally got round to rewiring a (mock 1) LM2. I'm adding relays to ignition, coils, headlights, horn etc, and using 1mm2/2mm2 thinwall with Deutch DT connectors for the loom. New Domino switchgear as well I've done the wiring diagrams circuit by circuit and would appreciate any sparks looking over the diagram, in case I've made a gooner somewhere First up, ignition:
