New rider with bike problem

I just bought my first bike. When I got it the guy who sold it to me started it , but only with jumper cables. He said the batt was completly dead. So I took it home. The next day I got a batt, my pops was connecting it and he connected it backwards. I took it off bad conexted it the right way. So now there's now power to the bike. No lights nothing. Did he blow something by connecting it that way?

First of all to the site..

If you're completely new to riding and don't know what you're doing with your bike I would recommend you by the workshop manual for it..

Re: New rider with bike problem

Not sure the type of bike but most have a fuse block and a main fuse off the battery. I bet you popped the main one. look right around the battery for it. If you post make/year/model you might get someone that can give more exact directions
