Default Please Help!

New bike.. got it home and the old batter barely had enough power to start it once or twice.. This morning NO electircal power. I threw it on a deep cycle charger for 4 hours the put it back in the bike and I had NO POWER. Clock on guages would even come on.. Went and bought a brand new battery. Auto Zone had the right one.. it was a plug and go time. Aprraprently you dont have to charge it. Came home, pluged it in and NOThING. No clock.. nothing! Put the jumper on it.. still nothing. Traced all fuses that I know of and they were all good. Checked most connections and all seem to be fine.

Simply no electircal power.

Yes the F4i does have a main power fuse, its under the seat. I would check that first.

Put the new battery in and replaced that fuse.. good to go. Went for a cruise last night. Have to replace the CCT and it's good to go.

its been a couple years since i changed my battery... do you need to take the main fuse out, put battery in, put fuse back in, or any certain order like that to keep from blowing the fuse, or does it matter

and how much did the battery from autozone run you?

I had to go to two different locations to get the right one but the beauty of it.. its a plug and go battery. No need to charge it for 4-6 hours. I did double check all of the fuses when putting it in but there was no need to take any out before the swap.
