Default main fuse or battery

Cranked my bike, then it died along with all electrical. Everything. Wiggled the main fuse and tightened the battery cables, although they were pretty tight already. Not sure what corrected it, but all is well now. Which is likely the culprit or any suggestions?

Sounds as though you may have a poor ground connection. Check the negative battery connection to the chassis and make sure it not corroded and/or loose.

Check battery charge rate, and battery water.
Probably just a poor fuse connection........
Keep an eye on it........could be start of regulator problem, but think not.

I had a similar problem with mine when i first got it. Someone had poorly pieced together some wires under the ignition key. Squeezed the taped up bulk and it came back alive.

Hope yours does not have this problem.

Good luck.
