    Did you have this problem four years ago? What kind of "charger" did you use? It's possible that you fried the start switch, could be a solonoid somewhere on those things. You might try getting your hands on a wiring diagram and see where those cables lead and branch off into? When I had the charger hooked up to the battery I have never had a problem, but I have heard horror stories from people that have gone direct from charger to cables with no battery in between... It's "possible" you did do some electrical damage, and judging from your story I would say that could be the case...

    My bike had the same problem that yours sounds like. First I turned the pet-cock to PRI and opened up the carb plugs to see if there is gas getting into your carburators. I pulled the fuel lines and blew air through them to make sure they weren't clogged. Then I pulled the tank and cleaned up the pet-cock, pulled the filter on the other side and blew some air through it to clear that up. Then swished the remaining gas around in the tank and strained it out of the tank through a fine paper strainer to get out any rust particles that might be clogging up your fuel intake, and filled it back up with clean gas. You might want to give that a try since our bikes are notorious for clogging up the filter.
