Thanks, Mike!
I'm actually learning a lot and do enjoy a bit of tinkering so it's not all bad. I'm also improving my bike as I will definitely replace the rectifier plug. Anderson Powerplugs are already ordered.
I will take a video of removing my plug caps tomorrow.
Is this how I check earth:
"Put the multimeter in your lowest Ohm setting and put the black probe on the negative battery terminal.
Then probe around on all the lights negative wires whilst giving them a wiggle. You should be getting very low readings."

Thanks, Gaz66!
I did fully charge my Lithium battery with a lithium capable charger before first time using it.
Schlumpf (the creator of the multigauge) actually recommends the usage of a lithium battery for the fazer as it starts the bike much easier (and weighs less). These lithium batteries have a built in controller which manages the 14V charging current.
Quote by Schlumpf: "I've been running a LiFePO battery for many years now. They seem to cope better with the tendency of low voltages of the Fazer."
His website is quite interesting, you can read it google translated here:

If you go on the drop down menus on left side to motorcycle -> FZS 1000 you can see the sub categories.
Here is his electrical optimisations page :
