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

I was going to go out for a quick ride  :) and I turned the key heard a 'click' and then all the electrical on the bike went out  :(.  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.
Ride safe,

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.

Thanks Mr VP for the help you gave me on the switch repair when mine went south in South Carolina this past Labor Day Weekend. Now my switches gets a maintenance.

If you are riding  and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast.

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.

You were right, bad battery.  :cooldude:

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