    uh... yeah your RR is toast.... PM TOECUTTER ha knows of a cross over that is way cheaper than the original. as far as the fuel pump goes... as long as it is the low pressure pump 1-2 PSI (I think) you should be okay. as far as popping the fuses... you need tostart chasing wires to see if you have a short.. but when you change the RR that might stop... oh, the connector from the rr is probably toast as well... if you have heated your battery up to where it is spitting acid...... and don't jump start the bike with your auto while the auto is running you will cook the RR( that is probably what happened in the beginning...) don't ask me how I know Just don't do it...

    And as rules dictate as a new member you have to post a picture of the bike no matter what condition it is in....

    "Toecutter" is a shortcut on the search function, as he knows all the answers to your VFR questions, but another expert, "Tinkerbelle," is nearer to you.

    You'll need to use quantities of water and baking soda to neutralize the acid or risk scarring various components. Battery acid on a swingarm does really nasty things, so clean up !:tongue:
