Default What tha?!?
Heres the deal. Rode to work last night, scoot ran great, parked it and went to work. Came out to leave this morning, and NOTHING. Tha lights are good and bright, the guages and idiot lights work just fine, fuel pump cycles like it shoutd, all I get is a small click from the starter relay. I tried chamging the relay, same thing. I thought maybe the PCIII was shot, bypassed it, same thing. Everything else on the scoot works fine, she just won't do squat when I hit the start switch. The dealer has it now, I'll post a follow up whenI get her back. The only mods so far is a breather, exhaust, and PCIII, '07 Raod king, mods done at 500miles, 10,000 now.
What do you guys/gals think the problem might be?

Battery/starter/loose wire
Ditto. I had a battery 'break' a cell once and that's all it would do. Couldn't jump it, couldn't charge, nothing.

Exactly - just above the blinker fluid drain valve.

I think it is the Starter switch on the Bars. If the contcacts corode they do just as described.

Did your headlight go out when you pressed the starter button?
