A mistake I shouldn't make but it was made anyway, due to the distraction of a side argument with wife during the same time while replacing the battery.

the replaced battery was accidently connection in a wrong way - - then bike won't start any more.

I checked the fuse box - no blown out. what's the next actions?

1. I guess I should take the right panel out to check the main fuse, to see if it was blown out.
2. if 1 doesn't work, then I should take it to the dealer?

Any other action I can take between above 1 and 2? I wouldn't mind taking it to dealer but thought it's a good opportunity for me to understand my bike a bit better and gain some mechanic skills, which might be helpful for my future around aussie tour in the bike.

Thanks in adavnce lads for your advice.

If all of the above don't work, try replacing the ECU. I have heard of ECUs going out when the battery was connected backwards.
