Full charged battery but zero power ANYWHERE

[Goat Roper]

A turn of the key provides power to nothing, not even the radio. I have read about ignition switch issues where the radio will still work but nothing anywhere.

 

Battery is fully charged. All fuses check out. A quick check of wiring doesn't show anything out of place.

 

Last time it was ridden was about 2 weeks ago with zero issues. Had not been started since.

 

A ground maybe? I am really unsure of where to find those though.

 

Any and all thoughts for a guy with limited knowledge of troubleshooting his bike would be appreciated!

 

Thank you in advance.

First place I would check is the 30A Main fuse which is located behind the plastic cover that resides next to where the passenger's left ankle would be if they had their feet on the floorboards.

While you are in there, check the wiring to that main relay.

 

That is at least where I would start since you say your battery is fully charged.

Thanks for the quick reply

 

I did check that 30a main and it checked out. That really was my hope for a quick fix. All wiring looked good in that area as well.

Then try the switch bypass method, if your bike starts, it is the switch.

 

Since that is a 99 you have (according to your profile), I would assume the switch is the culprit.

 

 

Here are two links about by passing the switch.

Just a daft question - you know the battery is charged because you had a tender on it ? Because it was charged two weeks ago ? or because you had the battery off and replaced it ?

 

Or you've checked it with a meter ?
