Default Help!

Left work about an hour ago.
Turned off the alarm on the bike (with fob), it started right aways as always and off I go.
Got about 1 and 1/2 miles down the road and was making a turn onto a 4 laner, the bike just died.

Lots of battery power but when I hit the run and start button, nothing. No fuel pump noise, not turning over, nothing.

Pushed it the 1 and 1/2 miles back to work and put it inside. Heavy sob!

Noticed both turn signals also not working now. Found out when I was pushing it and wanted to turn on the 4-way flashers.

I am thinking a fuse?
Why else both turn signals on different switch housings...
Or maybe the security system? Noticed that after trying to start it the little 'red key' picture shows up on the speedo.

Any ideas? Anyone have something similar happen?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Is this a stock security system? Try doing the code think with the buttons and see if it brings it back. If not go to the fuse box.

Check your battery cables to make sure they are tight. Mine died and after chasing fuses, found ground cable loose.

It's not the battery cables: lights, radio all work fine.
It's not the HD security system key fob: Push and hold alarm sets, push twice alarm disarms as usual.
It's not empty: wouldn't explain no fuel pump noise or not turning over.

I'm thinking electrical and hoping fuse but... why no fuel pump or turning over "along with" no turn signals? Can't imagine all three systems on one fuse...

Could it be a breaker or a main fuse?

Would have taken a look before coming home but I was beat from pushing the damn thing for over a mile, partly uphill!

Not the kill switch. I tried off an on and starting 20 times.
As for riding a Japanese bike... in 32 years never had one of 'them' strand me once and they would have been a hell of a lot easier to push too! lol
Still much rather push the Harley!
