I thought that the battery was dead, so I hooked up the tender, went out for a ride on my thruxton, and when I came back 6 hours later, I went to turn the bike on.....again, absolutely nothing. I hooked a quick charge to the battery, to jump start the bike, and usually I get a light, a cycle through the tach, ...something. I got absolutely noting. I pulled the battery, charged it - its a little over a year old yausa battery. It says its fully charged. I reinstall it - and again , nothing. Its as if a main wire has been cut. I looked at all the fuses on the right side of the bike, and I looked at the large 40 amp fuses on the left... They are all fine. Have you come across this before and can you give me some direction . I would appreciate any help you could offer... Cheers! Douglas had to send this as two posts...it was too long
