    So I rode down from Seattle today to see my kids, (trucker) I ran down and my 2003 Non-ABS (100% stock) viffer ran like a dream... I pulled up to the house and shut the bike down walked inside the house to open the garage (litterlaly less than 5 min ) and when i tried starting the bike, there was nothing.. lights came on, fuel pump ran for a sec and before I could hit the starter button everything (and I mean everything) blinked out... so im figuring bad battery or bad fuse... so I charge the battery and check ALL the fuses and everything is fine... I have a wierd buzzing noise from behind the gauges all the time then the key is on, the starter relay buzzes and clicks when I hit the starter, power to the rear (lic plate light, and rear running light work fine, I have no headlights at all, the gauges flickker and display wired (bike key on not moving and the speed moves to sporattic speeds 2-19-5-33-5-and finally to 0 MPH, takes a few minutes for the gauges to show anything.

    Put battery on charger (out of the bike) and charged it to 100% and still no luck
    Disconnected the Main power line to the starter... no change
    Looks like I have no power to the headlights at all
    Tried hooking to a deep cycle truck battery (my ex wife has a power stroke diesel -- solve the prob if a bad battery) ... no change

    bike has 11500 miles
    recall done.... Unsure just got the bike last week

    acting like there is a HUGE drain on the battery... just spent 3 hours pulling off the plastics to find the two outer relays
    behind the gauges buzzing when the key is on ... continuously buzzing

    starter relay only buzzes when you hit the starter button

    If it will help I can shoot a video and youtube it and add the link here,


    any help you guys could send my way would be appriciated.... or atleast somewhere to start... I need to be back in Seattle on monday morning...
