Found the issue, I somehow knocked the wiring connector for the clutch cable loose.  Stupid, Stupid Stupid.  At least it didn't cost me anything but my time to xorrect.

VERY common problem. Happened to me as well.

I was a bit worried at first. I was hoping to get in a 1200 mile ride in next weekend and things weren't looking good for a while.  Hoping to ride up to Angel Inlet in Minnesota. This is the most northern print in the lower 48.

That is, apparently, a common problem. When I bought mine, besides having a broken transmission, dead battery, etc. and all the other possibilities that can happen sitting in a barn for years, the clutch switch was disconnected, too!

Ok now I did it.  Had a couple nice long bug filled rides so it was time to wash the bike.  Had the bike out earlier in the day looking at a new helmet at the local shops.  Came home and about an hour later gave the bike what I would consider a normal wash.  Normal for me is up on the lift so I can get the rims good and clean.  After the wash I was going to drive her back into the garage.  When I turn the key all the lights turn on and go out and I get that familiar electronic whine when everything is powering up.  When I push the start button all I get is a single faint click.  Did water get somewhere it shouldn't where should I start looking and in what order?  Thanks for the in advance.
