Default What's This Code Mean?

Went to start my bike after riding about 1/2 hour, and I get NOTHING from the starter button. Like I don't even have the key on. Bike was running fine, then this. I have lights and battery cables are nice and tight. I'm getting fault code B2121. What does this mean? Solution? Thanks!

From 2015 EDM:
Pull the solenoid wire and hook a volt meter between it and ground. Turn bike on and hit the start switch 12V means you have a bad solenoid.

If no voltage go to the BCM and check the red/black wire L2 starter solenoid power to ground. If no power there the BCM is bad. If you have power there you have a open wire yo the solenoid.

Did you try unplugging the solenoid and using a jumper from the starter battery connection to see if it will crank?

Good Luck
Bill

I will. He just called and said it's scheduled to be looked at tomorrow, and he'd call me when they find out something.
