Ok guys here goes. I got up this morning to go for a ride and when I hit the starter button she was dead! I checked main fuses and found them to be ok. I checked connections on battery and found the positive side alittle loose. I cleaned both connections and tightened back up. I tried to jump and I got all my dash readings up, when I hit syertewr button I lost dash but bike spins over and does not start. Can anyone help? Bummer, I was supposed to ride with a friend Monday! Next step is to have it towed to shop.

Thanks for the reply, the battery is only about 1-2 yrs old. It is am maint. free. I am hoping that the loose wire prevented it from getting a full charge. Seems like it still would have jumped?

I checked all fuses I could see and all wer good. Hope it will start after a full charge.

When I tried to jump the dash would light up and go out when I hit the starter button. They would come back up when I released the button. I checked al the fuses I could see. Acts like the kill switch is in the off position. Do you know of a specific fuse that would let it spin but not crank? Should I spray cleaner on the kill switch.

Dead in the water

Thanks Everyone for your help and words of wisdom! I charged the battery and she fired right up! Also check the alternator and it is working fine. Must have been the loose connection on the battery keeping me from getting a full charge.GOING RIDING IN THE AM!!
