My bike is july 03. sometimes the battery goes flat [1] and the bike wont
start. The headlights dim but  not that much.
When i put it on charge the optimate says it is 3/4 charged, so it should
start up. Other times the battery is completely flat.
I've ALWAYS had trouble with alarms. Once it is out of warrenty it's comming
off...

[1]Normally a week. Only last time it was OK after 2 weeks. I had loads of
problems with the Veto on my ZX9. [2]
[2]Always leave the bettery on charge.
