Just got it firing!
I recently installed a new yusa battery in my 2003 V11 Sport. I connected the battery tender to it for the first time, and stupidly, the tender was plugged in and fully connected when I connected the positive of the battery tender to the positive of the battery. (i'm swearing that I had the polarity correct). It immediately started cooking the smaller ground wires on the bike and I disconnected it within 1 to 2 seconds. The smaller grounds, including the one from the ECU burned insulation slightly, but all wires appear in tact. I have electrical tape around the portions that melted a bit, but everything appears to be working fine, and the bike appears to run just fine.
Was my only problem connecting the tender while it was plugged in (it's been a while, but I don't remember having to care so much about the process of hooking up the tender), or did I do something stupid that I am not aware of, or could there be something wrong with the tender?
Any thoughts that more extensive damage may have been done that I am not aware of?
Any light that can be shed is appreciated.
