Angry newbie with cbr completly dead

Tried looking for a similar thread but could not find one so excuse me if iam raddled old graves..
Riding on a Sunday afternoon decided to punch it a bit before arriving home upon getting home bike decided to just die on me nothing turns on or blinks as if the battery was disconnected but of course it is connected a bit of background info, when I purchased the bike it had aftermarket turn signals, front were integrated into the mirrors (eBay) that had only two wires and the rear were also eBay diamond shape led blinkers that were not connected so I wired them up to the oem blinker plugs. After buying a blinker relay but I don't know if this could be one of the reasons why it did what it did so if any input that anybody can give would be gratefully appreciated.

Is the battery dead? It may not be charging or the battery may be bad. If the battery is full, you may have blown a main fuse or have a loose connection somewhere.

Which CBR is it?

Check your connections. If it's completely dead like that... it has to be a loss connection, if no blinks, nlights... it only makes sense.

the battery is fully charged took it to my nearest autozone store to have it charged and they said that the battery holds the charge and is good but in the past it would be fully charged and after about half an hour of riding i will notice the bike starting to die down due to the battery getting drained so disconnected the cables while bike was running and the bike would shut off so i figured the stater was bad but the day i was riding before it died on me the bike was riding fine i would turn it off and then it would start right up with no problem witch i thought was odd but happy

Sounds like you may be experiencing an alternator failure as well as the afore mentioned loose connection.

took a look at the bike over the weekend and turned out the littlest things can be the biggest, turned out to be the fuse located on the starter solenoid... and yes my stater (alternator) is dead i checked on that...
