replaced OEM intake manifold, have issue

No, this morning I tried starting it, and it will turn once, then completley shut off, and immediately the lights will come back on. Not sure if that means anything about the battery. I'm just assuming a completely dead battery won't turn back on but electricals evade my grasp

Yeah, so I just came home after letting the battery sit on the tender all day. Before touching anything else, I started the bike again, and this time it started properly. So it was the battery, but now I'm wondering what I touched improperly that caused such a rapid overnight drain.

That's what I was thinking. I'll take the battery out and see what somebody else has to say. If the fuel sender code doesn't mean anything then I'm really at a loss, maybe a cable got pinched by the fuel tank breather valve hose moving around. I'll do some short rides first and keep an eye on the engine light.

FWIW, battery “tenders” are for keeping a FULLY charged battery FULLY charged NOT to be used for or expected to recharge a battery to FULLY charged state.
Fully charge your battery with a proper charger then take it to the auto parts store to be checked on a battery load tester. This very simple preventative procedure can save an unexpected dead battery out in the sticks.
Always want a fully charged battery and properly operating charging system because these new electronically (computer) controlled engine parameters and lighting and as well as some non-engine related controls, need a minimum 12v.
