A stiff kick starter is probably a good sign that you have good compression. That will definitely make the battery and starter motor work harder.
Recharging the battery depends on your charging system. If you ride it enough to re-charge what gets used during starting and running the lights, then maybe never. If the diodes in your regulator have gotten wierd and are allowing battery current to drain off while it's parked, then you'll have to charge it more often. Overwinter I keep mine on a BatteryTender type trickle charger.
