I didn't charge the battery backward. Put the battery contacts on the bike wrong way.

How do you examine the relays?

The bike now almost catches fire when I crank it. It is a matter of adjusting mixture. Spark is there as I tested with a spark tester. Checked ignition, headlight, gauge cluster, horn fuses and they are all fine. Horn works and I hear turn signal relay working. Only headlight is not turning on so I will see it with a new bulb. Hope the fan switch relay is fine.

my fan was still fine. I thought it blew the bulb as well so I went ahead and replaced the bulb, but the light didnt work. If you find where the relay is, or the problem, let me know because having it on a switch kinda sucks

Light came on like 10 seconds after engine started.
Is yours G type? If so it has two relays on both sides of the front fairing stay.

Cyrusyn, Light came on like 10 seconds after engine started.

There are no relays that have anything to do with the headlight. The headlight gets power through these items in this order:
  1. Ignition Switch
  2. Fuse Block
  3. Starter Switch
  4. Dimmer Switch (high/Low beam)
  5. Headlight
If the fuse is good, then bad bulb, or bad contacts on switches or connetors.

Playful God, the F2 have a fuel pump and if so is it running?
No, there's no fuel pump on the F2.

Have you checked to see if maybe you've got the idle set just a little too low ? If you have spark, then your ICM is most likely ok as is the Ignition Pulse Generator.

Yes. The main fuse is a 30A fuse on the starter relay, not in the main fuse panel.

i did the same stupid mistake and found that the 30A was blowed.. now i only hope nothing else is fried .. probably not because the purpose of the fuse is to protect ;p
