Default Bike wont start.... no power

I rode my 2000 cbr600f4 about three times the other day, with no problems. When I jumped back on later to go home I turned the key on and had all my lights, hit the starter heard it click then all lights and power seemed to go out. I tried turning the key off and on and there is just no power going to the lights or starter anymore. I tried push starting it and it would sputter and die. I pushed it again and held the throttle wide open... the engine was running but barely and was kinda pulsating with the lights pulsating with the motor. I checked fuses and the 30 amp fuse on the positive lead was burned out so I replaced it. The battery was low so I charged it, but it didnt hold the charge so I replaced that too. The same problem was still there, I turn the key and no lights come on... there is just no power to anything. Would appreciate any advice or comments..

How do you get to the wires of the switch? do you have to remove it of the handlebars and does the key need to be to the on position? I havent ever messed with the ignition switch

Two screws and the switch pops right off. No need to turn the key yet just see if the voltage from the battery is reaching the switch. text/email 3133101696 dmcb2120@gmail.com
