Default RE: NEED HELP

I would get this one to a repair shop. It sounds as if your starter never disengaged, either due to a short somewhere or a freaky solenoid. Make sure the bike is completely turned off. If you want to remove the battery you can test it, but I would bet that its fried. Did you get any kind of guarantee with the bike?
