no engine prime and temperature gauge at max

Hi All, Hate to start with a prob but i need help. Wasd out on bike and it overheated and while riding all electrics died. It turns out i cooked my battery, have replaced and changed 2 fuses and now all looks ok except no prime. Turn on ignition and clocks flip as normal but engine temp max's out. Bike turns over but no start.
Its a gen2 2010, no hid, in fact removed headlight and sidelight bulbs to simplify.
The battery really got cooked and im concerned i have fried my ecu. Tested the ECT and sensor is showing expected 2.5k(ish), stripped right kill switch and verified all looks ok, not sure how i would do a wire check. I have removed the regulator and will be replacing it and a stator at same time, this is 2nd time a regrec went bad, my fault for bad diagnosis.
Suggestions?
 
Welcome and sorry to hear of this.....

I'm no electrical guru but if it were me, I'd first replace all the fuses, then I'd systematically go through the entire electrical system looking for any deformations from heat or burnt smells....

When a surge goes through the system like this, crazy things happen in the areas you least expect it....

Somewhere on this board, I have read these same symptoms.....I will uses the search feature to see if I can find where it was...
 
Swapped out ecu and now the red led beside the ignition key is flashing, is that good or bad? Now when i turn the ignition on i can hear the fuel pump click rapidly fgor about a count of 6, i take it thats not good C42 how do i clear ignition key lock, i thought that was only an issue in the US

So does anyone know about this 100 Ohm hack, reading about a sv650 it worked on, tia

We don't have the ignition immobilizers in North America, but as far as I know you need an ignition matched to that ecu, or the Suzuki SDS dealer diagnostic tool should be able to program them together for instances like this/ecu failures.
