Default No Start!

No Start! 2016 Breakout, went to start bike ground to battery was loose. Now there's nothing. Replaced battery, the 3 fuses are good, I am going crazy here, bike has been down for three days.
All lights come on, but when you hit the button to start, head light goes really dim and nothing. You can here the fuel pump, but no clicks or anything else, crickets

Check both battery cables , pos and neg , both ends . Check the entire length , could be a break inside the jacket .

Have you tested the new battery for voltage ?

Put the battery on a charger over night. If you got 10 amp charger see if you can get a click out it with it on 10.

Agree check cables.

Get a meter out, and check to starter and starter relay. If not getting to starter relay, go back from there. I am not sure if interlocks that would prevent starting would allow pump to pressurize.
