Check the terminals on the battery and the fuse carrier. And check that the battery has power.

So, press the starter and nothing at all happens? No clicks or anything? Was the fuse you replaced actually OK? How did you check the battery?

Do the lights come on (if they'll actually run off the battery)? As you say no power, I assume not. So it seems pretty fundamental...as David suggested check connections inc to the ignition if they're accessible.

Took me 3 days (and an electrician neighbour) to solve that one after my bike had been garaged for a while. :( Switch was in the correct position and the engine would spin. Quick waggle cleaned the contacts and started first time. :shifty:
