My bike was stolen!! And now it won\'t start...
A few weeks ago my 2000 GSXR 600 was stolen. I use the term "stolen" lightly though, because they didn't make it very far. They pushed it down the road a ways and into the woods where they attempted to hotwire it. I also use the word "attempted" lightly because they just cut the wiring harness going to the ignition and tied all the wires together. After this didn't work, they just left it.
So needless to say, I got the bike back, but now it won't start up. I spliced the harness back together and tried jump starting it... no luck. When I turn the key nothing even lights up.
What worries me is that when they tied all the wires together, there was at least one or two that were hot. As a result, several of the wires' insullations look a little melted near the splices.
So, what I'm wondering now is: what damage could this have caused? I know several of the wires run to things like the starter relay, lights, etc. What are the best and worst case scenarios here?
Thanks
