Default Won't start

My bike wouldn't start this morning. The engine won't turn, and everything is on correctly. Could this be that my battery is low on juice? My lights and all other indicators turn on, but I'm guessing I could still have a low battery. Also, I washed my bike the night before. Could I have messed something up from the wash? What should I check for?

did you get the wiring wet?

Thanks for the answer. This is all preliminary, on what I should check on when I get home. I had to bring my car to word today because of this. I just wanted to know what I should check for. If the battery is low, is it possible for all the other lights to go on,yet the motor not turn? I also checked the fuse quickly this morning and it was good, but just for piece of mind I plugged in a new one, and still nothing. I just can't figure whats going on with this bike. Ever since a dealership dropped it, things just seem to keep happening. I pretty sure this is all coincidence though.

Okay, I just got home and tried to start it and the engine isn't even priming, and this time the headlight is going out. Does that mean that this is the battery? I'm hoping thats all it is. I will put it on the charger and hopefully get it started. Any other ideas or confirmation of low battery would be much appreciated.

my bike with a charger reading of 85% on the battery would still prime and start. if the fuel pump isnt priming it means something in the starting circuit is off. kill switch, BAS, kickstand, clutch switch, something

but it should still turn over. if it doesnt turn over, and your battery is good. then check the starter relay. you can jump across the allen head screws with the key on and the starter should turn over.

Thanks. It did turn out being my battery. My gf got home from work, I got a quick jump from her, and it fired right up. I just took out the battery and put it on the charger.
