Default smoke


Hello, went to start my sons Harley that he stores in mygarage while he is doing Marine stuff. It stays hooked up to a battery tender.It is a 2009 Dyna Super Glide (best I can tell). I disconnected the batterytender and attempted to starter up. It turned over a couple of times but did notstart. I attempted again and noticed smoke coming from the right side of thebike under the seat. I turned the ignition off. It smells electrical. Would anybody here haveany Ideas where I might start looking for trouble? Im fairly handy mechanically,but have never worked on a motorcycle. He parked it im my garage about 2 months ago, it was running fine.
Thanks
Pat

sounds like corroded or loose conection, check both ends of neg and pos.
if he has a manual lying around,pull battery,pull the box off, my 06 street bob has 3 bolt[2 on top and 1 in the middle, then youll see where there connected.
dont mind my spelling.
