Thanks, fuses look good. Thought it was the battery and tried jumping it immediately, also put it on the charger but no luck. Will try a new one b/c I have had issues with this one b/4. Wouldn't know why oil change should do this.

Initially thought I heard the fuel pump wind up but now nothing...would make sense the FI (fuel pump indicator light) is the only one not lit. Will try replacing the battery b/4 taking it in to have them hunt down fuel pump issues (if that's it).

Any other suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

battery, then charging system,

...........then after you change the oil make sure the tires have the correct psi in them.

get your friends to push you and pop it in gear... tell them it will be fun to push see if it will start up that way.

So the red FI light is NOT coming on when you turn the key on?

search button...

turn sigs come on? Sounds like what i just did, HEADLIGHT RELAY.

Do your headlights come on? If the relay goes bad, then the lights won't come on, and the bike shuts itself off, as safety precausion.

First, Check your fuses, see if any are bad... Find the headlight one, pull it out and try and start it...

Second, Check to see if the pin with the green wire (headlights i believe) is corroded and discolored on your upper sub-harness.

maybe you can check these threads out:

Read, if none of that helps, let us know.

Thanks suicidal, sounds like it. No headlights and yes the turn signal lights come on and stay on. Do you happen to remember whichwas the headlight fuse?

I thought it was labelled on the small fusebox under the seat. I haven't taken a look at the fuses myself, but noticed that there is a little box under the seat, which has the fuses all listed. Try that out and let us know if that works.
