Took the bike out without securing the seat and it hit both sides of the battery. I lost all power while riding and have zero power.

Main 30 fuse is good. Where to look next?

Battery is only at 9 volts. May have stuffed it. But I would think it would still turn stuff on. I have nothing.

Looks like the battery shorted out for a long period, and discharged to the point of 9V.
Now unable to deliver required current load for fuel pump, ECU, lights etc.
I'm surprised it didn't blow the 30A fuse or damage the ECU.
Have you tried charging it yet?
All in all you got off lightly considering every thing is working fine with another battery fitted.
We live and learn, whenever I fit my seat in place I ALWAYS bolt it down without fail, I always leave the 2 bolts sitting on top of the seat everytime I set it down after removing it.
Just a habit I've gotten into, and it reminds me to follow thru with the bolting down.

Are there no terminal protectors on that battery?

Sucks that this happened regardless......glad you managed to sort it out so you can be out in the wind

I used to have mine in my hump on the old purple bike. Talked to Full Spectrum, and no saving that battery. So off to buy another one. $368 mistake.

Replace the damaged battery with one of these and ti will probably work. :-)
