Does it turn over at all? Have you tried to jump it?

Not at all-tried jumping it-totally dead.  Really weird...worked just fine one weekend now won't do a single thing when turned on.  Might be time to retire it but was hoping there would be something I didn't think of that I could try?

sounds like something deeper in the electrical circuit, (voltage regulator....etc.) Have an experienced bike mechanic take a look at it. The price might be worth it, especially if you're thinking of dumping it.

Sure it isn't a fuse? Had a Honda that kept blowing a main ignition/power fuse and finally bypassed it...

I had the same problem with a Harley, it was the negative battery cable it was loose, doesn't hurt to look.

I disconnected and re-connected all the wires and it turns on!!  Still going to have someone experienced check it out better but at least it turns on now :)  Thanks for all your help everyone! :)
