Electric Welding Can Fry Stuff.
Always completely remove ALL the computers for a motor vehicle (cars, trucks, or motorcycles) before attacking any thing with a arc welder of any sort. If you do this you’re safe. If you don’t, you take a risk. Disconnecting the battery only protects the battery, not the computers.
Anti-lock brake computers, fuel injection computers, ignition CDI/TCI units, GPS units, etc… anything with a “chip’ –which is about everything on a modern motorcycle.
Or, use an oxy-acetylene (gas) welder.
