Does anybody know what wires go whare at the battery just the ones that make it run
Follow/trace the wires back to your EHC. Only 2 . One for positive and one for negative. Probably red for positive and black for negative. The extra heavy wires from the battery go to the starter +(red) and (black) goes to frame ground. The medium heavy wire in your pic probably goes back to the VR. It looks like someone removed a stock CB and replaced it with a fuse. That wire would go to the + side. Not necessary to run the bike but is necessary to charge the battery. Any wire with a fuse on it would go to the + side. Follow any of the extra wires back to their source to figure out their purpose maybe decorative lighting or security module.

With battery disconnected take your time and pull the covers to access connector A of the EHC. Unplug connector A of the EHC , Get a meter and read the wires from A3 and A4 to identify which is ground and which is power. From your pics I would guess the large blue wire in the first pic (942) is ground and the red wire in pic (951) is power. Be cautious when messing with your EHC it's a very expensive mistake to fry it. When your finished clean the connector and put fresh dielectric grease in it. Do the same for connector B.
Follow the two smaller wires in pic (942) back to their source to know what they are for. The red has a fuse so it goes to Pos + and the blue is most likely ground - for that component.

You should always take pictures before you start taking things apart. For future reference.Your battery is junk. Looks like a melted terminal. The single red with the inline fuse is positive. Looks like you have 3 wires to ground.
So something is n̈ot right becouse when i hook the battery up the speedo lights up with the key off or on how is this possable also no crank

You may have to chase and label each wire? Its a slow pain in the behind but @ least you will know whats what. Plenty of wiring diagrams available.

The key switch just grounds out a wire from the EHC. If you have a short somewhere in that wire it acts like the key switch is on.
