yea put in a battery that you know is good first. you may just have killed the battery.

Grab a voltmeter. Start at the battery and work forward. Look for where you stop having power when you should have power.

I wonder if you managed to fry the ignition switch contacts. You can check that by unplugging the switch harness (orange red grey brown) and jumping from orange to red. Don't make a permanent connection - that's effectively hotwiring the bike, not something you want to leave on all the time.

Well you could check all the fuses and see if you blew one of them, or if your just gonna sit and stare at your bike you might as well see if you can trace where those wires went to and find the problem that way.
