    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Could be a faulty regulator causing it to boil as in dry. If its a 12 ampere hour battery the theory is that the charge required is say 1amp over 12 hours, or say 3 amps over 4 hours. The best initial charge of a new battery is a slow charge with a small amperage. It may have been over charged on its initial charge. Check to see what sort of amps were put into it in the 12 hours. Haven't wrecked it at this point, but would reccommend it sat and re-covered for 24 hours.
Hoges.
 
Bubbles can indicate different things, depending on when they appear

You say you charged it for 12 hours, at how many amps? A motorcycle battery charger is about .75 amp

How long did it take to go dead? Were you riding for some miles before it died? How's your charging output?
 
time for the stator papers

Looks like you need to look into the charging cicuit. I would recommend doing the multimeter checks found within the "Stator Papers" article on this website. Really valuable information, and it will tell you if the bike's electrical system is all right (or all wrong.)
