So a acquaintance thought he would try and wire in this stupid radio that mounts on handlebars . idk why. So he thought he would wire it in hot no fuse to the ignition itself. he stripped all 3 wires on the ignition and wire it to one of them. So now hes asking if I can fix it. Theres power on ACC AND NOTYHING IN THE on position. Does anyone have any ideas? would be greatly appreciated.

Bring a volt meter, and some patience.

Cut away the radio wiring at hookup, and start fresh.

Bring an assortment of fuses too.

The guts of the radio will rock & roll all down the  road from the shake. Bad idea.

Man, I did an 8 hour ride with a mate Sunday, he was on a Yamaha MT10SP with headphones in his helmet, I had a pair of screamin'eagle slip ons, I had a way better soundtrack...
If you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of Duck tape then you're in trouble
