Default Marauder electrical problem (2)

Well, yesterday when i went to start troubleshooting my bike to find out what the problem was. After trying to get it to crank over a couple times, i found that the neutral terminal on the battey had started to smoke, and so didnt the positive terminal. The only thing i can think of is that i have a dead short. Could this also be caused by something else?

Also, After that the fuel pump starting pumping, when i wasnt trying to start the engine, but the power was on. Any ideas?
