when i push the starter button all the power on my bike shuts off. i turn the key in the off position and then turn it on again and there still is no power, no dash lights nothing...anybody have this issue? i need help
thanks

 

When mine did that it was weak battery. Replaced battery and didn*t have any further problems. Electronic Diagnosis may be in order but I*d start with the battery.

Edit: I should mention that my batt charger showed it as being fine but when I took it in to do a load test, it was dead. Take your batt in for a load test.

 

possible that the blew the mian fuse and thats why nothing will turn back on for you ?

 

idk i let it sit for a while and everything turned back on, but when i pushed the starter again it died, i hear a loud "pack" kind of sound and everything dies again. i checked all the fuses and their all good.
ill try do a load test on it...
thanks

+1 a load test will tell you CCA, a voltmeter may only tell you about what the 'surface charge' is.A surface charge is basically volts without amps, that is why it seems like something happens for a momentbut then nothing after that. Kinda like a capacitor discharging.

A new battery should be about 350CCA, but a weak battery of 150CCa will still start the bike. Charge the battery and take it in for a load test, I'd feel comfortable with anything over or close to 200CCA.
