So I thought all was well with the bike, took her out for a ride today and she just shut off.
No power at all. No lights, no gauges, nothing. Checked the main fuse, blown. Replaced it and she started up again.
One mile down the rode, died again. No lights, no power, nothing. Checked all fuses, none blown!
Any ideas?

Ok, here's what i've come up with. Battery is fine. All connections going to and from the battery are fine and not touching the frame or anything.
How likely is it the starter relay is bad? Would that cause the bike to just shut off or does that only have to deal with actually starting the bike?
Also, another thing worth mentioning. The emergency Run/Off switch hasn't worked on the bike since I've gotten it. Could that be the problem?
I'm really baffled at what the problem could be. It's like someone took the key out or disconnected the battery; absolutely nothing comes on (except the temp gauge).

Thanks Hershey, that's what I figured. So here I am at step one again. Where should I start? Perhaps the ignition switch, where I put the key in, is busted? Also, I'll take a look at the kill switch and report back. Thanks for the help guys.
