What Happens When You Connect A Motorcycle Battery Backwards

A couple weeks later I replaced the battery.

What happens when you connect a motorcycle battery backwards. Blew the main fuse. Sounds like your starter is living on borrowed time as the battery has a large gauge connection to the battery. Put a new battery in a 2007 Yamaha majesty and crossed the wire.

I made the mistake of connecting my battery backwards. It might spark a bit but the motor should turn. I accidentally left my motorcycle an Indian Scout 60 on for a while which completely drained the battery.

I also changed the relay that connects from the positive red battery cable under that tank. A series of chemical reactions will initiate the production of hydrogen. I checked and changed and busted fuses.

In the old days you would have fried your fusable links I did that in the 80s to a Suzuki GS450 and it was never the same. Check the voltage regulator and your generatoralternatormagneto whichever one your bike has as well as the coil and spark plug wires. 5 Apr 29 2013.

This will lead to the battery being completely dead. I figured it out after removing the cover and realizing the starter was working backwards is the best way I could describe it. If its there plug it in and feel if its clicking when a helper turns on the ignition switch.

Check the rectifierregulator - it is a direct connection between the battery and ground - hook the battery up backwards and either they will burn out like a fuse or they will let current flow through the alternator damaging the coils -. All the gauges and lights work boy when you push the stater button - nothing - no lights go dim or cut. At that point I was closing up the seat but became aware I connected it backwards.
