I tried jumping my bike and I think I blew something


I posted a thread in the general area the toher night telling of my dead battery. I tried jumping it last night, in the dark, and it didn't work. It didn't work because I hooked the cable to the negative lead on my bikes battery. It was dark, I couldn't see well, I feel stupid.

I tried jumping this afternoon in the daylight, when i realized my error and i thought i was home free.

I plugged my moms car to my battery. positive lead hooked and the negative cable grounded. When I turned the ignition to 'on', my oil light and neutral light lit up brighter then i have ever seen them. I was a happy kid thinking he was about to go for a ride.

Here is my problem:

When you jump a car you start the dead car while it's hooked up to the donor vehicle. I tried starting my bike with the cables still attached because I didn't know otherwise, there was a pop, a spark, and the lights went out.

My fuses are fine and i can't get the lights to coem back on. What did I blow?
