put a new battery on the bike and now the heated grips come on without even switching the box on, my digital gear indicator has stopped working and to top it all, so's the horn
I literally lifted the bolts/terminal connectors out dropped the new battery in and retightened the bolts so fucked knows why its gone tits up
I can live without the grips for now as summer approaches but the gear indicator was something I'd got used to....now having to think/remember what gear I'm in :lol
the horn may well have just packed in anyway
A battery is only +/-, that sounds very iffy and you need to find the issue before it fries something.
Without sounding patronising, batteries either don't work, or mess things up when polarity is reversed.
