If nothing in the vehicle has power, I would start at the battery. Make sure it's good, check wires from battery- positive and negative, check/clean connections (especially on battery if there is any corrosion), then work your way to the power distribution module. Start at the first known good spot where you test and have power and work your way from there until you find the bad component.
The bike was running on Tuesday parked it come out day before yesterday to start it it will not start and it keeps blowing the EMC fuse has no power anywhere else on the bike the radio has kicked on twice other than that there has been no power to the bike
Try pulling the lighting 15 amp fuse (not the headlamp 15 amp fuse) and see what happens. I take it the headlights are working properly. If the other lights go off when you pull the lighting fuse a short to power is indicated and your diagnosis will be narrowed but you will still have a process to go through to trace this problem down.
Classic failure that I have experienced twice now while riding a 2007 Suzuki C90. Both times the bike went totally dead electrically while going down the road. In both cases, I sent a fellow rider off with my battery, to buy a battery that fit. That's how I got home, with the ignition system running off of the battery alone. The old battery was the first bad actor. It shorted out internally causing the regulator rectifier to call for max amps from the stator, burning the stator up...melting windings...both times. Replace the battery with a high quality battery, and replace the stator and rectifier/regulator with top end stuff...like Ricks Motorsports. Yes it costs three times as much, but it handles three times the wattage. Don't go back with OEM parts like I did the first time. It will fail again just after the warranty expires.
Charge up the battery (or have it charged) and then seek out a local parts store that does free charging system testing like Autozone or O'reilly auto parts, have them test the system, but off hand you have an Alternator problem or a voltage regulator issue. Get the proper diagnosis done before you replace any parts.
Do you know how to voltage drop automotive electrical circuit's using a DMM - digital multi-meter ? Checking main power feed to fuse box etc.... loose connection , bad positive feed cable etc ..

Enter vehicle info. year , make , model an engine size. Under system click on electrical distribution then under subsystem click on power distribution . Click the search button then the blue link's . test the circuit's . Plus knowing how the systems work would be good . When you turn the key to start it send a low voltage signal to the BCM - body control module . The BCM sends a message to the PCM/ECM - engine computer to energize the starter relay . A lot of complex electronic's an electrical systems involved .
Check the ground wire at the battery, at the negative post at the battery you'll find a smaller (black/yellow) wire, it must be plugged into the main harness, it might have become unplugged, the connections will be right close to the battery.
It sounds like your starter solenoid (relay) is failing. The clicking is a classic symptom. It's time to have it replaced.
A starter solenoid (or starter relay) is the part of an automobile which relays a large electric current to the starter motor, which in turn sets the engine in motion .In many vehicles the solenoid also engages the starter pinion with the ring gear of the engine.
The starter solenoid receives a large electric current from the car battery and a small electric current from the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is turned on, a small electric current is sent to the starter solenoid. This causes the starter solenoid to close a pair of heavy contacts, thus relaying a large electric current to the starter motor, which in turn sets the engine in motion. The starter motor is an electric motor that initiates piston motion in a car's internal combustion engine before it can power itself.
