Hi KRTW.
Hopefully you and the motorcycle have not suffered any damage.
I think the K5 has unfortunately died. If it concerns the cable that goes into the K5, it will be difficult to repair it. Or you have to be technically handy enough to open the K5 and connect new cables yourself. The fact that the K5 gets hot also indicates that something is wrong. Normally the K5 does get warm. But when electronics become hot, this often means that too high (short-circuit?) currents flow.
So it looks like you will have to purchase a new front camera unit. If the other wiring to the power supply, microphone, rear camera and GPS unit is still good, you may not need to replace these parts. But that will be trial and error.
