i have been having battery issues/starting issues but havent had time to work on it ... that was meant for later in the weekend.
Today i needed an oil change so did that, after wanted to turn the engine over and the battery wasnt giving any power... enough to make noise but not turn over engine.
I tried hooking it up to the the autostarter/jump starter to give the battery some extra, done this 3-4 times in the past and worked fine. Saw a spark and then everything seemed to go dead.
No go ... no lights or anything. So i figured the battery was dead, went down and picked up a new one + tender and fully charged it. Hooked it up to the bike and nothing. I though it might be a fuse so i looked them all over but they seemed good.
Looking at the troubleshooting guide in my manual under section ENGINE DOES NOT START:
Engine motor wont turn
-Engine stop switch off
-Clutch lever not pulled in and transmission not in neutral
-Fuse blown
-Battery Leads do not make good electrical contact with battery terminals
-Battery Discharged

I dont think this has an computer or fancy electronics but did i blow something? I dont see any sign of life AT ALL.
Am i missing something? I appreciate any help provided.
Thanks
