Drove the bike yesterday and it did just fine, parked it and came back
and turned the key to find nothing lighting up or working. Tried the
starter button and got nothing. It is as if the bike is still turned in
the OFF position.
Checked all the fuses they were good, checked and charged the battery,
I do not know what else to do. This morning I turned the key and the
console lit up, headlight came on, and everything was how it was
supposed to be. Turned it off and then back on and it hesitated to
light up but did. Waited 30 min and tried again and again it decided to
not respond.
Checked battery and fuses again and they are all good.
What could the problem be?!?

The problem could be your battery..... just because the lights light up,
does not necessarily mean the battery is good.... it can be weak.. weak
enough not to do anything else... i would also check the ground wire to make
sure it isn't corroded.. in fact, check both cables from the battery
(wouldn't hurt)... if that doesn't help.. replace the battery.... you make
no mention as to how old it is....
Good Luck

6 months old.

What does it register?? as in how many volts? also have you checked the
battery cables to make sure they are making proper connection? you sould at
least have lights when you turn the key....unless when you hit the kill
switch everything gets cut.... if that is the case, maybe its your kill
switch malfunctioning...I assume you have checked all the fuses with the ohm
meter too while they are out of the holder??

battery is good, forget how many volts it had but it was within spec.
Checked all fuses with ohm meter. All of them were good.
I checked all cables and connections and they are all good, I filed and
sanded the ones that "looked" dirty.
No lights when I turn the key.
Did not think to check kill switch, going to check ignition switch and
kill switch with the volt meter tomorrow.
