Hey y'all... proper novice here, I need some advice. I was replacing the battery on my 2013 Monster 696 ABS, and I think I messed something up. When I connect the leads (yes correct leads to the correct terminals) I get this continuous buzzing sound, even without turning the key... and when I do turn the key, the bike does not turn over.. The battery is brand new and is fully charged. I get No lights, no dash, nothing. I put back the old battery, and I get the same buzz again.. still with the ignition off, and when I turn it over, nothing... no lights no dash, nothing... I'm at a loss here, I don't know what I messed up, and have no clue where to begin troubleshooting.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
