Ok guys, earlier today, I washed the bike. Shortly thereafter, I turned on the ignition and hit the start button. The engine started to turn over for a brief moment, then everything just went dead. My headlight and auxillary lights won't work either. I checked all the fuses under the seat and they are okay. Please give me some suggestions.

If you have an EFI bike and a power commander disconnect it from the ECM and see if water pours out.

It has a carburator

 

Ok, scratch that., Something most likely got wet that shouldn't be wet is my first thought as you washed it.

 

Exactly. However, if a fuse blew. I can't seem to find it. All the fuses under the seat were fine. I also blew off the engine and bike with a stihl blower a few minutes ago. No luck.

 

Maybe the system relay. I would also check the ignition switch itself.

 

My first thought was the main circuit breaker, but according to the book, the main circuit breaker will reset itself automatically.

 

Check bat connections to see if tight, also check the ground cable too

 

battery connections are tight.

 

Do you have a volt metter or a test light? This should be an easy problem to find.
