If it was disconnected, are you saying that you connected the battery to the bike with the jumper cables, bypassing the old battery?
Was the backwards tape wrap on the jumper cables ? Or the bike?

The mis-colored ends were on the jumper cables. The bike wiring is fine. I had connected the new battery to the bike's battery leads via the jumper cables, not realizing I was cross-connecting the battery. The original battery was already removed and in no way was a factor.
Made some slight editing changes in post #93 for a clearer explanation.
