Hey all,
I got a '78 XS 400 and I love it. (I'll post some pics soon). I have done virtually nothing to since buying it (last weekend). However, I got it home and tried to start the bike but since it was drained of gas I went and got some in a gas can to bring it back. While I was gone (a while) I had it trickle charge on a little 2 cycle charger. I DID NOT remove the battery while charging it. When I got back I installed two new spark plugs and tried to turn on the bike. Only, this time there was no power whatsoever. Where as before I could at least get the engine trying to catch. No neutral light, nothing. The fuses didn't look blown or anything. WHatever I did must have effed it up I suppose. What are your thoughts?
Thanks!
Dom
