So all my fuses were good, however my battery was completely dead which seems strange to me due to the fact that it almost started before I tried jumping it to the car. Anyway I've been charging my battery all night and all day an its still charging, is the battery fried?

Shouldn't be. You did say it was "brand new." Cables all clean and tight?

yea everythings clean and snug, i got the battery with the bike, the guy said he bought a new one for it when i picked it up and it looks pretty new to me, another thing it looks like there was water in the battery tray, when i took it out it was wet on the bottom and a noticable amount of water was sitting in the tray. No clue how that got there because its been in my garage and I def haven't ridden it in the rain.

Well, are you sure its water? Did it get washed?
The battery should be a gel battery. Hopefully someone didnt add water and its leaking. Take it out and dry it off with a rag that you dont care about and discard. then keep an eye on it.

Did you find the 30a fuse in the relay?

Battery dead...don't believe what OP say unless you see it for yourself. Good thing is that battery is relatively cheap. Get a tender as well...plug it in if you letting the bike sit for over 2-3 weeks plus...

I'm pretty sure its water, an yea its right next to the large fuse box and its in a whiteish clear plastic right?

And the guy gave me a recipt for it which dates back to 7/5/12, and I have a tender, unfortunatley it got lost when I moved but I went forging for it last night and found it.

I thought it was red...but i'm not near my bike right now. If you PM me an email, I can send a pic of my spare harness and those fuses later tonight.

How are you checking the fuses? Test light or voltmeter I hope.
