have you checked the plug to the ignition switch , mine had a burnt connector and bike was completly dead, there is a master fuse on the start relay the fuse is hidden good luck
Thanks for the response. By the "master fuse" do you mean the 30A fuse under the red cap behind the coolant reservoir? If so then yes, and I checked all the wiring around it with no flaws detected. I'm not sure what you mean by the plug under the ignition switch - there are a couple of them in there that I can't identify but they all look to be in good shape. The ignition switch is definitely getting power, it's just not making very far after that.have you checked the plug to the ignition switch , mine had a burnt connector and bike was completly dead, there is a master fuse on the start relay the fuse is hidden good luck
Both brown wires return 0V relative to battery ground with key both off and on. I also checked continuity to ground and it appears they are both grounded regardless of switch position.1. All voltage readings referenced to battery ground.
2. Locate junction box (fuse box)
3. Key on, take voltage reading on both brown wires at the connector.
Post back with two readings.
I do not recommend using the shotgun method (taking things apart and using the old eyeballs) when troubleshooting electrical issues. That means do not take anything apart until the fault has been located. One always runs the risk of introducing another problem and then the REAL tail chasing begins.
White wire reads 13V both key on and key off. That's with the red cap connected. 0V both key positions if it's removed from the solenoid.0v on brown is a no go. No sense in looking at red or any other wire yet.
Go to starter solenoid, probe white wire, key on and off.

Do you mean the connector down inside the tank just a few inches from where the switch is mounted? If so I can only get to the top of it and even there no part of the conductor is exposed and I can't even get a grip on it to separate it. Am I supposed to be looking for something back under the seat or behind the right side panel? Or am I about to remove my (currently full) fuel tank?Follow key switch harness back to where it connects to main harness. At connector, key on, check voltage on both white and brown wires, both sides of connector.
Key OFF:Push meter lead probe down beside wire at connector to touch pin. If you can only get to one side, that will do for now.
If you have to, bare half an inch of wire on each end, push wire down beside brown or white at connector, then touch meter lead to other end.
Be careful, these wires are live!!! Wear safety glasses/goggles.
It is the first connector we are looking for that the key switch plugs into.
Unsure again here - are you referring to the component(s) bolted to the lower front frame beneath the radiator? No plain white wire there, although a couple with white stripes.Very odd.
Go to reg/rect. and probe white at connector, key off and on.
