Default Help me out please, stranded on the road! Bike not starting

So I started my bike getting ready to take off, idling. Then the bike just dies. When I turn the key, absolutely nothing happens. No lights come on, fuel doesn't prime, nothing. Like the bike doesn't even know I'm turning the key. I tried jumping it. The battery has juice. All fuses are all good. Could it be the ignition? I had the typical problem with the starter before, and had to resolder the wiring. But even then, the bike would respond when I turned the key. Any ideas would help me out please!

There is a large connector in the wiring system that likes to cause problems when its wet out....either way you probably aren't going to be fixing it on the side of the road

Check 20A main fuse? that's not in the fuse box.

Where is this connector you're talking about?

Not sure, just know both of my friends with F4i's have had that connector cause their bikes to go down at some point, I've never had the problem thankfully.
