Ride more and your tires, brake pads and chain will deteriorate sooner. Batteries are exactly the opposite: Providing your machine’s charging system is operating correctly, and the terminals and connections are clean, your battery will likely live longer if you ride every day than if you ride every few weeks. Motorcycle designers walk a tightrope between battery capacity, physical size and weight, which means a motorcycle battery doesn’t have as much reserve as an automobile battery.
