Looking great man. Ive been using mine as my work horse. But another battery has shat itself and leaked acid all over my swingarm just bought a lithium one just now and see how it goes

 

[my67xr]

^^ check how many volts are going into the battery, you might cook the lithium one too?
The regulator part of the reg/rect might be faulty?

 

[motoluver]

how would i check it? when it comes to electrics im clueless. I noticed it last night when the headlights were dimming on and off and then today the speedometer would stop working while i was riding, and the blinkers were acting like the battery was flat. Then i noticed the swingarm and acid around the battery holder. And then tonight it was fine, no dimming or anything.

Get yourself a cheap multimeter, jaycar have a pocket one for $6 iirc.
Set it to DC volts and put the red lead from meter to the positive battery terminal and the black lead to the negative terminal.
Start and run the bike and check the reading on the meter.
It should be close on 12.5 volts at idle, then go up to 13.8 volts at 2500 rpm and higher.
Anything over that will wreck your battery
