I went for a 75 mi ride this morning. When I got home I loaded up the bike to go fishing and turned the key an nothing happened.Battery is charged, checked fuses and all are good with the ignition off. If I turn the ignition on I get nothing on any fuse. Can you tell me what that might be? Thanks

Check for loose connections to the battery.
Cheers, Richard

Connections are fine. Have power on fuses until I turn the key to on. I checked the ignition switch and its good.

Sounds like maybe the Headlight relay? It's under the tank on the frame spine. Check the single wire (neutral sensor switch?) that goes under the transmission right behind the oil filter, if that comes unplugged the bike goes dead too.

There's also a kill switch in the clutch lever and the side stand.

Well its fixed. I took the ignition apart and cleaned off some of the grease inside. I cleaned the contacts and put it back together. I don't really know what happened, but it works fine now. Maybe one of the balls got out of place. After I got power from my jump box, which I couldn't before, I new it was good. Battery seems a little weak so I bought a new one. First time I had a problem with this bike. It even brought me home before breaking down. lol

Good to hear. Would have suggested the ignition switch but you said you had checked it. 
Cheers, Richard
