Check the charging voltage, if the voltage reg on the alternator exceeds the max charge voltage for the Li battery it will kill it. I can’t recall the max for a Li battery but google will have it.

I smell chinessium

Don't think you can go wrong with Yuasa....had great results with them over the years w/ my Bikes.

Things aren't well in Canada at the moment, Alberta is having a referendum to leave Canada, country is extremely divided, its pretty well the Liberals against the Conservative...

Beleive me id rather be riding my bikes....I need to move to a warmer climate...maybe it will be easier to move after we become the 57 state...lol.

Sounds like Dan is the one who should pull out if you were worried about your guts.

Wow

It’s not about price I am struggling to find a Yuasa one to fit. I have head that Motobatt can be iffy on quality as well. I can’t be arsed with Lithium. I just want a decent battery, happy to just a a standard lead acid type if I can find something. Just bought a Yuasa replacement for the Hornet as the standard one has shat the bed after 2 years. I don’t think I ride that bike enough.

Well there's nothing else to do..lol...speaking of wich , possible ride tomorrow, Dan wants to go down shore...its a solid 200km plus day..-14 c on the forecast, we had a good layer of snow but we lost it all just before Christmas, 5 cm fell during the night , there's a long section of trail with monster roots and rocks , don't know if I want guts to be put through a blender tomorrow, I might pull out...un- decided still...still not enough snow for the grooming machine yet..they were running snowcats for many years, now it's tractor with tracks like this..

Dude! You spend the winter with your buddies in the woods bumming each other, no wonder you are self conscious.

Possible , haven't really checked on it , I only know some.. not all were having issues after switching to lithium 23 and older...I might look at another lithium after this one craps out...but my confidence has been tarnish, I was only lucky I was close to home and I managed to limp it back ...I just think for myself anyway a gel battery suit me more...what if the battery craps out on a ride..you can't charge it with a regular charger to get the bike going or giving it a boost with cables...

Wear it wherever you like, no one is worried about that.

My Christmas season has been spent looking after Mrs. Hook w/ her new knee...gotta admit that I'm proud of her for doing well w/ her recovery. Seeing consistent increments of improvement everyday. Kind of anxious to see how well she'll be doing by our anniversary in Feb. Hopefully be mobile enough to do a day trip to Hermiston to see my Great G-son by then...

Of course I won’t wear it outside of the house, dum nuts . I will wear it up the shed though, it’s warm and it shows Shadow that I appreciate what’s she does for me.

If I recall they have only started saying they are lithium friendly from 2025 year.

They do mate but that is part of the fun.

Don't know why ...but something on the bike didn't like the lithium battery, switched over to a gel battery, the bike ran perfectly for the rest of the 24 season, the recall was only done this year...it was causing the bike to over charge...

Then what was the point of using a tender? Oh yeah, the bike is shit, I forgot.

Idiot and idiot...the bike was never sitting more than a week...it was early summer when I changed to lithium..

Also if you were not riding for more than a month then you should remove the battery connector and leave it in a semi discharged state. Lithium does not like being held at 100% for months at a time. That information is readily available.
