Bike won't start!
Alright guys bear with me, I am new to this s#!t. I have a 2005 sportster 883custom, and recently the rear blinker went out. Searched a few videos....said cool I can do this....this is what I did in order.... Before I started I removed the positive cable on battery, then replaced the wiring for the blinker and put it all back. Then for whatever reason I disconnected the ground from the battery (so now the battery is fully disconnected) Then I reconnected the ground then the positive put everything together and......nothing.....does not start. I realized after all this s#!t that there is a particular way to disconnect and reconnect the battery! What can I do to get my bike running again?

Did not switch cables they are exactly how they were. Fuse looks good. I am gonna look over everything again tomorrow as I am curious at the moment with the situation. I just dont understand what the hell happened.

Check your battery wires to ensure they are tight especially the ground wire from the battery to the frame. Also check the positive battery cable from the battery to the starter, again, check to ensure it's connected and tight. Next, check your 30 AMP Maxi Fuse and your 15 AMP IGN ignition fuses.
Is your bike stock or is it modded in some ways, electrical?
