First off,. Hello New guy here. and glad to be a member.
So here is my issue I hope someone can help me with.
Last year My 97 SE 1500 wing needed a jump (alternator went south)
and before the jump the cables got crossed - to + and + to-
Really,. Im not that unaware and this was a mistake in the dark.
So, lots of sparks signaled the warning. reversed it to the correct posts and the bike started. I got it home but found out the next day I popped the 50a fuse link. I replaced the link with my spare but now I have a few other issues. The bike isnt running right, seems to be running rich as you can smell it in the exhaust. this was last year. This year I had some work on the bike to hopefully resolve the issue. New belts, carb work and a trigger wheel. The bike runs better but it is still not right and my fuel mileage is only about 35mpg. New oil and filters.
Also on another problem related to the jump. My radio works but I have no real volume and the cassette wont open. It did before

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Was the vehicle sending the power to the Wing running at the time and before you started the bike? If it was Ouch!
Check the #10 & #13 fuses.

Yes, the van was running,. and I have checked all fuses,. they are good

First of all, Welcome to the forum! A lot of good folks here.


Sounds like you might have ruined the carburetor control computer/module..

Welcome aboard and sorry you are making th eearly posts with issues. Boosting a bike with a running vehicle is very hazardous to your bike's electrical system. Hopefully you can get the bugs out.

Well I am hoping I can find the issue,. And thanks for the welcome

You are onto something and I was thinking the same last night, the ECM has gotten a 'Spike' and is malfunctioning and yes on the 'carb air jet solenoid valves' getting damaged and check the PAIR solenoid valve. The reverse polarity thing; ouch!
Also check the #6 relay. You can also check the solenoid valves.

The radio problem is more than likely the 5 amp fuse in the relay box to the rear of the fuse block.
