    Default wont start

    2015 RT-L wont start, I am sure I wont get a response today, because all you guys and gals are out enjoying a ride, and I am stranded in my house. I rode it yesterday worked fine. Go get on it today and The gauges cycle on the dash, lights on dash work, but the computer screen in between the gauges does not come on. also the head lights do not come on. Not sure if they come on though without the bike running. Anybody else have this similar problem???? Thanks for your help.

    Take a look at the kill switch. Many times it is the culprit.

    Default Problem solved...Well?

    Went out put battery in after having it checked, pulled the key out of the ignition walked away,(for a minute or two) with key in hand. Got back on put key in ignition and it started up. Although it did not ask me to read safety card. got going out the driveway and noticed no digital reading yet. put it back in the garage, shut it off waited ~5 minutes turned the key back on and now the digital dash and radio start working. So problem solved ???? I don't know for sure.
