CBR F4 electrical problem, NO electricity at all!!!
K so I've had my f4 for a couple years now and mechanically its super sound but my electrical always seems to be f**ked. Recently i was going for a ride and the bike started up perfectly and i let it warm up for about 7 mins at 3000 rpm. I drove it about 400 metres to a gas station, filled up etc...when i started the bike again it started smoothly but as soon i dropped it into first the bike shut off. like completely off, kickstand was up, there was no reason for it to shut off. It seemed like a blown fuse at first but i checked every fuse in the fuse box and the main 30a fuse and everything was good.
The bike has literally no power whatsoever. I turn the key and no gauges turn on, no lights turn on, its almost like i dont have a battery in it. I took the battery out and charged it but still no power at all.
A guy drove by with a f4i stunt bike in the back of his truck and told me that it could be a plug that's underneath the gas tank that has become disconnected. What plug is he talking about?1
Maybe I have a busted battery?
Obviously I have no idea and i've tried everything I could possibly think of so PLEASE if anyone knows what the f**k is wrong with my bike let me know.

Hi. Don't know if this will help, but I had the same problem on my 1980 BMW R100RT. Whislt travelling on the M5 from Plymouth, my bike cut out just as I indicated to move out into the outside lane! I managed to get onto the hard shoulder. Anyway not to bore you too long, the nice RAC man found a starter relay under the petrol tank that had corrosion on the pins. He gave them a scrape with a penknife and hey presto! all was good! The relay was stopping the power from the battery to the ignition switch from getting through. I couldn't get anything at all on the clocks or anywhere, so it might be a similar problem to yours. I have a 2002 CBR 600 F1 with fuel injection and I love it. Hope you sort it out soon!

That actually sounds like a good option..
If you need it, here are the wiring diagrams:

I live on the west coast and it's been a particularly rainy winter, which really sucks cuz i don't have a garage to park my bike in so its been exposed for like 7 months of straight rain. I have it under a supposedly "waterproof" motorcycle cover. Would all the exposure to the moisture assist in the corrosion of terminals, relays, etc?? I feel as if that would make sense and be the most obvious problem...
