Negative battery post melt a bit
I recognized my negative post on the battery was alittle bit melted cause of the heat, but not much. So I took the battery out, cleaned up everything. Now its all good...
Just wondering if this is ok to just put the battery back and ride? The reason for melting was probably cause of the screws wasn't really tight

how old is the battery? if it is approaching 3 years, I would keep a close eye on it. Would not expect too much more out of it. Keep those nuts and bolts nice and snug. the looseness will create excess heat with will melt the posts. Good on you for catching this. And record this in your notebook!!!
