Default 99 adventurer needs help!

Ok, here is the bone head thing that I did.
Dead battery (very surprissed, never before) so I hooked up charger, waited about 45 min and tried to start, it would turn but battery still weak, charged a little longer and the same, weaited a little longer and still not enough juice. ALL THIS TIME I WAS CRANCKING THE STARTER WITH THE CHARGER STILL HOOKED UP. Well the last time something did not feel right and after when I turn the ignition to on with the charger still on my tachometer showed about 5000 rpm, with a bigger charger on it shows 7000 rpm, more amps more rpm's???
Anyway I disconected everything and tried to charge battery out of the bike and I guess battery is fried.
But I replaced with new battery and now still will not turn and when turning ignition on the "tach" needle jumps a little and the starter tries but it will not turn.
Any suggestions?? fried the starter? ingiter?
where to start troubleshooting?
thanks in advance!
