NEED HELP ON THIS ONE!

(1/1)

richd:
MY BATTERY WAS DEAD AND I WAS CHARGING IT. LIL NEPHEW WAS PLAYIN AROUND WHILE MY BACK WAS TURNED AND CROSSED THE CABLE CHARGERS- POSITIVE TO A NEGATIVE, AND NEG TO POS. WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED THE IGNITION WAS IN THE "ON" POSITION (BATTERY WAS TURNED ON WHEN CROSSED) LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE GAUGES ROLLED BACK AS IF YOU WERE STARTING IT UP AND WHEN THE GAUGE NEEDLES WERE COMIN BACK DOWN THEY ALL STUCK IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS SUCH AS MY SPEEDOMETER @110 MPH, RPM'S @ 7, GAS NEEDLE SHOWING FULL AND SO FORTH. THE CABLES WERE CROSSED OVER NO LONGER THAN A GOOD 5 SECONDS. I ENDED UP REPLACING WITH NEW BATTERY AND IM STILL GETTIN NOTHING. WHAT HAPPENED HERE? DID FUSES BLOW? AND IF SO WHERE WOULD THE FUSES BE LOCATED TO REPLACE?

FlatlandBusa:
It takes less that a second of reverse polarity to cause serious damage.

If you are very lucky the fuses did their job and saved ya.

The fuses are located in the left fairing under the clutch lever.

slatroni:
I think you popped the 15 amp fuse.

dogman:
Yes you popped the main fuse..I know!

slatroni:
Me too! RichD, do you have a after market fuel pump? thats what popped my fuse.
