90 XT EAC Starting troubles
After letting the bike sit for approx two weeks it was running fine. Occasionally the bike has a hard time getting going in the cold mornings so I need to jump it in order to not kill the battery dead trying to get to to start. However, not it seems I have busted the bike. My problem:
Whenever the battery is hooked up it sparks, and the starter cranks over and over again, even with the key out of the ignition, or with the key in the off position. I don't know what to do and the yamaha manual isn't much help as I only have a shitty voltmeter and don't understand electronic diagrams all that well. There is a wire running from the negative terminal of the battery, and it is cooked, the insulation has melted. The battery also all but boiled dry just cranking over and over again when I was trying to get the bike to die.
What I have done:
Replaced the battery
Cheked started regulator and it is working.
Any help or suggestions before I take it to the shop?
Thanks!
James
