This morning I got up to go start my bike and as soon as I hit the start button, I lost all power. No lights, no nothing. I checked the 30A fuse and entire fuse box and they are o.k. The battery is good (I checked with v-meter). What am I missing? This bike was running great yesterday. I am so lost. Please help. Thank you.

It may be a dead battery.

Voltage meter reads 12.3V after resting for one week. Any other suggestion? I heard solenoid might cause similar problem. Thanks.

12.3 V is roughly 60% charged! Turn the key on and see if your horn works.

No horn. No lights.

When I hit the start switch, I distinctively heard a "click" noise from below the seat area. First I thought it was a fuse, but all fuse are fine. Please help. Thanks.

Hi Kelly and Sam.

Thanks for your help!!!! It was the battery. It had no distilled water in it. I added some water and charged it overnight. Next day (today), it came back alive!!!! It is a bit of irony since today is easter. I can't thank you guys enough. I was going to take it in to a garage. Happy easter!!!!
