I've done quite a bit of searching, and I haven't found anyone who did exactly what I did. Different symptoms.

When installing my new battery, my hand slipped and I grounded the positive lead directly to the frame of the bike. It was for maybe .25 seconds, but I definitely saw a spark. When I was screwing it in, I believe the shift light was on, and when I grounded it, whatever light was on went off. I am certain the terminals are the right way, after reading on how many people messed that up.
Now when I turn the bike on, the Neutral, Battery, and Oil lights remain on, no activity on Tac or Speedo, no headlight/tail-light.
The thing that makes it confusing, there is a constant buzzing sound coming from under the tank somewhere. I can only assume it's the fuel pump trying to kick in with not enough power.
I've tested the battery with a multimeter, and it does not drop volts AT ALL (not even .01v) when I turn on the bike. I have a manual fan switch, and when I engage that, the fan tries to come on, but can barely start to spin. It feels to me a fuse must be kaput (maybe the 40amp), but why would my fuel pump be trying to engage, my fan be able to work, and the lights on the dash come on if that fuse was gone? I checked all the fuses on the right side, and they are good.
I've also removed the trickle charger leads from the battery, thinking they may not be passing enough amperage through. Curious thing was when re-installing, the battery didn't give off small "sparks" when connecting the leads like normal, and the bike didn't react at all to the battery install like the first time. Also why I'm thinking fuse, but not sure which one.
Maybe I'm missing something, flame me at will lol. :smile2::smile2:
