If you can't jump it with the truck your issues are worse than a battery.

 

As someone already mentioned pull the fuse going to your amplifier and eliminate the "new" work to see the problem goes away. Taking out whatever was just "worked" on is always my first troubleshooting step.

 

I appreciate all the input. What is weird is that the bike started yesterday when I tuned the front amp and made some initial settings on the new amp, and made sure it was pulling voltage. The only difference between then and now is the speakers were attached. I'm heading out to buy a battery charger, and a tender is on the way from Amazon.

So, this is where everyone gets to call me dumbass. I'm at work now, and can't verify, but I'm pretty sure I forgot to reconnect the fuel line. That would explain why it wouldn't start even with a jump.

 

Oopps

Been there done that. It does help to walk away for a while and retrace your steps

 

Dumb ***! No really, don’t feel bad I did that last time I had the tank off my wife’s SG. I got plenty of **** from her about it too.

 

I dig ur honesty brother!!! A very rare trait these days. First 12 beers are on me should we ever cross paths.

I have done that more than a couple times brother.

Just make sure u get a pig tail hooked up to ur battery and hero that sucker charged. Jacking with audio in the garage without a good charger will **** rape ur electrical system.

The lil Schumacher Charger I mentioned in a different thread has been very good to me.

Wasn't worse, but you were right...it wasn't the battery. It was my dumb *** forgetting things.

 

I appreciate it, but I am 5 months sober after dealing with PTSD. This bike was my chance to get my mind off other things, and rework my brain. I'm not a mechanical guy by nature. I'm a Marine and a Cop, but ****ing up mechanical stuff is surprising therapudic...At least once you figure it out.
