Have you checked the main fuse in the starter solenoid?

Killswitch isn't in the off position is it? (we've all done it)

Have you tried jump leads? This will let you see if it is dead - fuses or what - or you can bump it.....

My money, if it was working fine, is on a flat battery

So - key in, turn it - no idiot lights at all?

100% checked the main fuse under the right hand seat panel? it is a 30a jobby..not one of the ones under pillion seat?

You have to get a multimeter and check the battery voltage with the ignition off and on.
