Alright.....
Purchased a lithium ion battery for my base v4. I foolishly had the battery installed backwards, so the negative wire was connected to the positive terminal, and right as I was about to connect the positive wire to the negative terminal with the bike off, there was a tiny spark.
The bike was off the whole time, but i realized then I had it backwards, and fixed it.
However after flipping the battery around, and connecting it properly the bike would not turn at all. No dashboard lights. No noises of fuel pump being primed etc.
So i connected it to a lithium battery charger and waited for it to fully charge. Still nothing.
So i reinstalled the stock battery. To my horror, the bike won't even turn on with the stock battery.
Now at this point im worried the tiny spark I saw got might have fried something in the bike.
I quickly checked all the fuses in the two boxes above the battery and theyre all intact.
Not sure what else to do at this point other than tow it to the dealership and see what they have to say.
Would appreciate any advice, i feel stupid not double checking and can only hope the whole system isnt fried.
