no power
I recently came back from a trip around lake Michigan Went we got back we still had a couple days so we decided to do a short weekend trip washed bike and dried it like I always do went to start and I get nothing no lights speedo instruments no lights or turn signals if I turn ignition switch to acc I do get trip meter and odometer but nothing else checked ignit swich its good checked all fuses and ground point I found nothing any thoughts of what else to check I m guessing its a minor thing but haven't found it yet
That's good for standing voltage, a freshly charged battery should be 14.5 volts, then can drop to under 13.
What matters is testing it under load. Your local auto parts store can do that.

Easiest thing to do is hook up the voltmeter to the battery, and turn on the ignition. If it drops much below 12V you got issues with the battery.
ill lay odds its the ground cable from the battery. DC voltage is so reliant upon ground circuitry. check where the cable connects to the starter mount bolt. also check the "factory crimp" where the cable is lugged.
