Suzuki gs1000L ground frying?

The Problem is that the thing turns over multiple times. However when it finally gets a spark and try's the start it dies. I Try to turn it over again and it fries the battery ground.
I'm cranking it for about 3-5 seconds. The ground was fryer to begin with but i replaced it and tryed it then. The worst thing about this is the ground is getting so hot it burns nearby wires as well. I don't thing there is a hole in them but it all pops out of some tape. I really probably just need to replce the wiring harness all together because I can only check so far on this. Whoever did the wiring did not know what they were doing because every light on the bike has it's own ground.
