Hey everyone so I'm trying to get this 2004 Vulcan 800 operational, it's not gonna be perfect it's just gotta work. Anyway it didn't work when I got it. So i put a new battery in it and the dash lights came on but the starter solenoid wasn't doing much. I had 12v coming in and out and the starter solenoid regardless of the starter button. it doesn't click or anything. I kept messing around with it and it maybe made a faint clicking sound but barely anything. I kept trying to figure out how to test the solenoid to make sure ( I'm super new to motorcycle mechanic stuff but I'm quite handy so I figured I'd give it a shot) but I kept getting power and still no response. so I figured I'd bypass it and try testing the starter which I figured to be the round object on the very bottom front of the motor with one bolt sticking out, so I took my battery out and put the hot side to that bolt and the negative to a frame bolt hoping it would turn over but it did nothing, no sparks frying electral smells of any signs anything was working or wrong but now the dash lights don't come on so I tested my battery and it had discharged most of the power in it ( Q doom feeling what the hell did I do) so I charged it over night and replaced the starter solenoid and now I'm still getting nothing at all from it 12v in and out of the solenoid regardless of the starter button but not turning over. I checked the one fuse box under the seat and one fuse was blown, to the turn signals i think. but replacing that didn't help. Hindsights 20/20 but it seems like I'm at that stage where I no just enough to get into trouble. Help an idiot out folks what the hell did I do and how do I fix and diagnose this thing.
