I need some help to figure out what is wrong with my Interstate.

I was going to go out for a quick ride  Smiley and I turned the key heard a 'click' and then all the electrical on the bike went out  Sad.  Any ideas?  I put the battery tender on it and it went green but nothing is is turning on.

Any advice on where to start is very much appreciated.

Isn't there one big fuse that controls all power on a Valk?

Isn't there an electrical junction point on the I/s that is known for burning up? down near or under the battery?

I'm betting on a bad battery based on a similar experience and it's a simple thing to take it to an auto parts store and have it tested.

But, it could be the starter relay and it could be the starter switch, so if it is not the bettery, look there.

I have had the connections go bad at the battery terminals.  Mine went click and I had to take both cables off, clean them up, and put them back together.  Worked like a champ street the cleaning.
I guess the power surge was enough to let the corrosion separate the metals in the connection.
The battery went south about 3 months after the cleaning.

All the connections look good going to the battery and I plan to check on that electical junction point next.

Thanks  Smiley for the help, you guys are great source of Valk knowledge.  cooldude
