Coming back from a long awaited ride today when the Vmax shudders to a halt , no power at all . No lights , indicator ,nothing when I go to turn the key on leaving me stranded .
Fuses looked ok .
What do I need to start to look at tomorrow ?
 
i would look for a loose wire either at the battery or at the ignition. sounds like one worked loose during your ride.

let us know what it is if you find it!

A recent post, with symptoms similar to yours. No feedback as yet re the cause.

WHat Sirgijoe said. I had that happen to me on my Shadow I owned years ago. And I was on my way to Statewide up in North New Portland.

Usually when EVERTHING goes meaning all power it will be the main fuse. I always carry an extra with me under the seat.
