crap. maxi fuse looked fine.

are the "grounds" the 2 red wires near the battery that have fuses under the caps that screw together? one of them is separated from the red wire. see photo.

and then i tried to start it, and it sparked, and now the whole bike is dead, even when i hold the end of that red wire back in place with the fuse. did i just totally short out the bike?
Anything with a fuse is a power wire not a ground. Don't hook those up to the negative side of the battery.
