Lithium Battery (almost mandatory)

I have been riding since almost a year with a Lithium Battery. I have to upgrade it. I choose antigravity ATX12-HD which as a restart mechanism. I didn’t know better. Restart is useless in a PAS since the top of the battery can’t be accessed without taking the battery out.
Due to the upgrade, I put the HD Battery back in. I forgot about it.
Then, today, I went for a ride before the rain.
I thought I would crash. The steering is so heavy, the feeling on angle is so abrupt. There’s this angle when you feel the bike is going down. I check the tire pressure. It was fine. I check the steering damper. No cable or retainer or any difference in the movement.
I cannot wait to put the lithium battery back in. The difference is tremendous.
I understand that if you’re off-roading you might be concerned by a lithium battery. I do lots of roads and I have the steel skid plate. The PanAM is a different bike when the weight at the bottom is lighter.
As anyone gotten the same experience when swapping the battery for a lighter one?

I felt no difference in bike performance going to the Li-Ion. For the jump start feature you need the remote (). It connects to your SAE charge port and will activate the feature.
