I fitted Lithium a few years ago and it's worked very well but recently I've had a problem after longish fast runs where the alternator stops charging the battery, then with normal traffic speeds it starts charging again. Possibly reg/rec overheating because the Lithium works differently, maybe just old bike and the alternator needs servicing.
I used to think Lithium was pretty straight forward but it does seem to have some hidden complications.
