Help! Big dog died.

[Nunov24]

Help... Im not sure where to begin.
My 2005 big dog has been running trouble free (1900 miles) since I fixed the air ride and replaced the clutch. Minus a few burned out headlights. Anyway, today while driving on the highway, it started to backfire and the odometer began to flash.. then it suddenly powered off. After pulling over, I checked under the seat to fined the positive battery terminal was disloged. I seems to have melted the lead on the battery itself. I took out the key and attempted to connect the cables to the positive terminal and the starter engaged. (without touching the start button). each time i touch the red power wire to the battery the bike tries to turn over... No lights on the odometer except flashing hazzards...

Any ideas...
Please help

You need a Priest, holy water, cross and 1 chicken!

One of the most important items on a properly wired bike is a 30 amp breaker between the battery to the electronics. Apparently you didn't have one. Sounds like you have a dead short and on a big positive wire. Look for the large wires with crimp/burned insulation and that would be the dead short. Or take an ohm meter to them or test light.

You also probably fried the ECH.

Get that bible, chicken, holy water and a big fat wallet. Good luck.
