My bike has been on a Battery Tender, it's outside in a covered shed, it is like 20 degrees here...the battery tender was Green, I went out to just start the bike and let it run...three times to start, the third time it arced under the seat then everything is Dead, Did I fry the circuit breaker???

 

Pull the seat and have a look. Maybe you just need to tighten the battery cable. FWIW I would not be starting the bike at all until you can ride it. It causes condensation on the inside of the engine that is not good for anything.

 

vibrations and battery's not always a friendly combination. How was the tender hooked up? Batt cables are something you need to check out several times a year. The battery tender should be hooked up direct to the terminals....not via the flimsy clips. Keep us posted...let us know what you find.

 

You could have blown a fuse or circuit breaker. Depends on what year your bike is.
So, check your fuses and breakers, battery and ground connections. Look under the seat for any signs of arcing or melted insulation.
And like stated above, don't just start your bike to let it run. If you can't take it out on the road to get it fully up to operating temperature just wait for better weather.

 

Arced under the seat? Did you see smoke? Melted rubber? Don't understand the comment, maybe a bit more info.

 

Did you disconnect the battery tender from the motorcycle and unplug it before you tried to start it?

 

Yes more information please. This could be very bad.


Best case, reset the breaker, clean it up and off we go.


Worst case, new battery, wires, and a few circuit boards. Big bucks.

 

no after I realized what I did I was like F**K me....I ordered a new circuit breaker

 

Thanks for all the info, I really hope I didn't burn up everything

 

I did pull the seat off and at least the + side of the battery there is no evidence of arcing, no bad looking wires from the bettery. someone asked it's a 2012 Forty eight XL1200X
