Battery mistake

Post by heuk »

Not good. After replacing the battery of the ABS model, I connected the poles wrong.
Now there is no power at all. Did I ruin the engine control unit? Or something else.
Is there a solution or just buy a new engine control unit

I would have thought the bike would be protected (diodes etc), have you tried a different battery and tested yours? Checked the main fuses too.a wrecked engine management wouldn’t stop lights working.
