I have tried toget some clear understanding of this. Googling " Are Lithium motorcycle batteries safe? is like asking which oil should I choose? Guys argue about how many amps you actually need, how are you really supposed to charge them, are they worth the money, is the weight savings worth it..holy cow. And everyone has an anecdotal " buddy" that this happened to or this never happened to etc
Im 30 pounds over weight, and my bike weighs nearly 600 and has less than 90 horsepower. For me the weight savings is moot or I would have eaten a salad for lunch instead of a hot dog and chips..and I would be munching on carrots now instead of fiddle faddle lol
Im glad someone on the board is getting some actual experience with one in this bike. Will see how it goes for. My agm batt is only 1 1/2 and I usually get 4-5 years out of them, so that allows some time to see how they work out in the CB 1100.
