Try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes then reconnect it to reset everything.

The battery is completely down now so I am going to get a new battery this weekend. If the battery is not fully charged could this affect the radio? I checked the fuse under the left side panel and it is good. Is there a fuse in the fairing?

Yes, I'd think if the battery is not fully charged it could potentially affect the radio because it doesn't have the full voltage to operate, so put a new fully charged battery in then let us know what it does. No, there are no fuses in the fairing.

There should be 2 fuses for the radio .... (1) radio power & (2) radio memory.


Here's a link (if it works)
