Default Washed my 06 cbr now wont start/crank

Hello i have an 06 cbr 600. Bike started and ran fine before i washed it with a bucket of soapy water and a sponge rinsed by splashing cups of water on it. Now it wont crank/start. I do not hear the injectors priming either. No headlight on either. I removed and looked at all the fuses in the fusebox under the left fairing they look fine! Tried swapping out the battery with a new one. No luck! Not sure where to go from here? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

You may have popped your main fuse. I popped the main fuse on my 954 after i shorted two wires together with a screw driver on accident, and sounds like youre haveing the same problem as I did. Look in your manual for the location of the main fuse, mine is separate from my fuse box, so I'm assuming yours is too. Hope you get her figured out!

Thanks for all the replies! Spoke to a friend who is a mechanic asked him to look at the bike for me! He told me to remove all the fairings for him to make it easier for him. He also told me look around for any loose connections before i load up the bike and bring it ti him. About to load the bike im my pickup and right before my eyes under the tank cover on the right side i see two wires unclipped. Plugged them back together and started right up. Im assuming whoever had the bike apart before me and removed the upper fairing didnt click them together properly and when i was drying the bike wiping down the forks ect the wires came apart! Well you guys cant believe how happy i am! No better feeling... Thanks for all your help.. Be safe..

I use an electric leaf blower to dry mine off but glad you got it running again.
