Hi.

If you do not have lights at all, then it is likely a defective ignition switch

If there is power to dash, but engine is not starting, check or jump the kickstand switch. That is probably causing the fault. Use the service manual. You find the diagrams in section 15 at pages 364-365.

Service manual has been uploaded here.

The download is slow. Instead of clicking on the link below with the left mouse button, use the right button and choose "save file as" from the drop-down menu.

Regards.

Ginko.
