Motorcycle Forum / General / Sportbikes / March 2007really boned this one... 2002 Suzuki Bandit 1200
Hey can anyone with a service manual give me a hint??? I was reinstalling my battery after storage. Long story short no lights in garage... getting dark battery installed backwards. I checked my fuses and they were good. Can anyone tell me if the battery cables would have those fuses that burn themselves out. Should I go that route or did I fry something else? Stupid yes, but possible. Still I am not the greatest mechanic and unfortunately poor at the moment. ANy help would be great. Thanks... > Hey can anyone with a service manual give me a hint???

Thanks... oh yeah the battery did arc on installation but not onto anything other than the cable end. If there are no fusable links in the battery cable where should I go from there? thanks. > oh yeah the battery did arc on installation but not onto anything > other than the cable end.

There might be wiring diagrams, which could help you trace the problem. I would think main fuse first, which should be between the positive cable and any ECU or wiring interfaces. The main fuse is separate from the normal fuse box, and is usually rated at 30-40 amps. BTW, I'm not an electrician, so I'm just grasping at ideas here. It's entirely possible you fried something major, but I would think the bike designers would have put safeties in place for that exact mistake.

The 30 amp fuse hidden under the starter relay cover probably blew out when you hooked the battery up backwards. If you are very unlucky, the diodes in the rectifier regulator blew out too, and maybe the transistors in the ignitor unit were also fried.
