Was running fine then went to start a couple days later and nothing. Turned key on and the only thing that shows is dash light, no fuel pump noise, nothing. Hit start button and does'nt click or do anything. Has HD tuner and exhaust. Has to be electrical, don't know where to start looking.

Dead or weak battery would be first logical check, and check battery terminals for good connection.

DAMHIK to ask, but is the stop/run switch on? If so, battery is the place to start. If volts are good and the cables are tight, and the fuses/relays are all good, my next check would be the ignition switch.

My S3 did the same thing a few weeks ago,turn out being the side stand switch.

Pushed a straight pin through the wires and was on my way.

Checked fuses and battery is 12.7 volts. Side stand seems ok. Directionals work, horn works, no headlight tho, has to be something simple but hate to start tearing things apart.

Check your swithch. The switch has 3 postitions, off, park, run. You might not be getting into run.

There is a small wire that leads to the starter that plugs in with a spade connector. That is the selenoid activating circuit that becomes live if the starting switch, relay,etc. are all good. You could either check there for "live", or use a length of wire with a spade connector and connect that to the live battery terminal. That would establish whether the problem lies in your circuits or in the starter +selenoid.
