the valk won't start-again.  tim cleaned the starter switch 2 weekends ago and it started a bunch of times, in the garage.
i just went out to start it,
i turned the key, panel lights came on, pressed the starter heard a little click and then nothing, everything went off.  now no lights are on and nothing.  is it the ignition?

Sounds like your battery has gone South on ya.

Try to start it with jumper cables off of a vehicle NOT RUNNIG.

If it starts, battery shot.

If it still just clicks, then start cleaning battery posts and checking the ground cable of the battery for good contact.

  I have found when the Valk will not start to do one
thing first:
   Ask myself what was the last thing I did or touched.
 Most of the time it has worked because our Valks are
a darn good bike.
     Thanks for letting us know.
