You have no power anywhere on the bike? No lights, no horn, nothing? Or is it just the motor that has no power to start?

I would check the main fuse and relay, you might have blown one of them. On mine the main fuse is the big orange fuse in the fuse box/block.

Fuses should be checked with a meter for continuity, and don't overlook that large Master fuse.
