Default Dead Battery???

Hey there! I have a 2015 Breakout, just got done putting the FM 107" Big bore kit, jugs, heads etc. Put everything together and went to turn it and nothing, no lights, no horn NADA! Except that pesky flashing red light for the alarm. I hooked the battery up to the charger via the charging plug and the battery chargers says fault. I took the battery out and hooked up the charger the old fashioned way and it says fully charged. I took the gas tank back off to make sure nothing was pinched and I did not see anything that looked pinched, everything is right were it was originally. Anyone out there run into this?

I will take the battery to get tested tomorrow and try another charger.

Thanks in advance all!!

Am not one that works on bikes however, it sounds like you have reversed the polarity somewhere along the way

I have no idea how I would have done that. Only disconnected the negative battery terminal, the ACR connections and the fuel injectors.
