Alright, so this is not what I wanted my first post to be, but unfortunately right out of the gate I am asking for some wisdom.
I bought a '13 cb1100 a few weeks ago, LOVE the bike! I decided to make some changes, I took off the rear fender, and switched out the turn signals for smaller ones. I had made the fender change, rear light change and took the bike for a ride the other night, everything was good. Yesterday it started right up and I pulled it into my garage to change out the front signals. I took off the headlight made the change, and the nut for the headlight to attach to the front was loose, so I had to open up the lamp and re-position it to attach the headlight. I button everything up and go to start it....I get a clicking sound and the oil light comes on, then the engine light. WTF! I mess with it a bit more and it keeps happening. The right crank case cover was scratched up when I bought it and I had replaced that, but it was no big deal and had driven it since, but I thought because the oil light was on maybe I needed to change the oil or it had air lock or something. I changed the oil and still same thing. I have attached a video of what is happening now. Please, any wisdom would be helpful, I don't know how to go through the wires, to figure out what is what, and I am assuming it's an electrical problem. See video link below.
