Dead Battery and melted negative terminal
So last week after I installed a Power Commander V with V&H Short Shots I didn't properly tighten my positive and negative battery cables.
Got off of work in the morning, jumped on the bike, hit the start button and the engine tried to turn over then click click click. I new right away it was the battery cables. Jumped off the bike and saw smoke coming from under the seat. HOLY CRAP!!.
Grabbed a screw driver to take off the seat and this is what I found. Well long story short. Called AAA and they brought a enclosed trailer and took the bike home.
Dropped an new battery in the bike and everything is good to go. Thanks to all the great info on this forum I was able to trouble shoot this issue right away. And yes I will buy a battery tender for the new battery.
Ride safe everyone.
