There has to be a hidden fuse or he fried a electrical part/sensor somewhere... sucks balls

tell'n ya... get a new battery...

I had a bad one that when I charged it would show a full charge. but it still wouldn't start my truck... took it to autozone... they tested it with an Ohm meter... 5.6v... (should be 12) replaced it... ran perfectly

Start with the cheapest first, and battery's are only like $35.

exactly... and you'll need a new one eventually anyhow

I'm guessing killed battery. What the hell... key on??!? Who DOES that? I guess we know now

Should have fried a fuse and been over. But, it wouldn't arch if it were just a turn signal or brake light. Or, I wouldn't think it would. Is he sure it wasn't more into the harness than that?

Some cars have a fusible link. Maybe your Gixxer has one and that's what flashed.

If you don't have one, now is the time to buy a digital voltmeter at Sears or somewhere for $10. Then you can see if the battery is dead. I've seen chargers "charge" dead batteries, so I wouldn't go by that.

Same here, but they replaced mine as part of the maintenance plan deal and they said they were only like $35.
