Hi all,
IT has been a while.
Well I was out on my 99 Drifter 1500 yesterday and things were going well, I stopped for a minute at a park and when I got back to the bike I put in the key and started to start the bike when I heard a sizzle like a short and then that was it.

No power or lights anywhere.
Cant hear the starter motor or the fuel system, etc... nothing at all.
IT is like I took the battery out.
I am taking the battery out this afternoon and checking it but I am 99% sure it is not the battery.

I checked all my fuses and connections without pulling the tank and everything seems to look ok, no burning or newly damaged or broken wires or anything.

The thing that bugs me is there was no warning or anything indicating a problem might be brewing.

Anyway As I said I am checking the battery first but I am almost positive it is fine, so what should I check next?

Again there is no power at all when I turn the key, no lights, or sounds or anything at all and all of a sudden.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.
I am hoping it is a simple fix as always but I am up for anything.
I am looking in my repair book at working diagrams but lol I Am no electrician so it isnt helping me much.

'Thanks

Lump
