I rode across town and left the bike idling while I fed the horses. I exited the barn put the bike in gear, and started to let the clutch out. I moved about five feet and everything went dead. Not a flicker from anything. The lights are all dead, the ignition switch activates nothing and there is no flicker of electrical life period. I pulled the seat, checked all of the fuses, and found not a single fuse blown? The bike is about four months old, and is a 2011 FE570S US model.
I've looked at the diagrams and the only thing that I see from the battery that all of the power runs through is the starter relay. I see there is a way to jumper around that relay for the purpose of testing the lights. Other than the starter relay, can anyone think of what I should be looking at? Has anyone else had this problem?
I'll be going to pick the bike up in the morning and working on it tomorrow. Any ideas would be appreciated. I know the bike is under warranty, but my dealer is over 6 hours away, so I will try to diagnose the issue myself and then contact the dealer to see if he will send me the part.
