I was hoping to have couple of hours ride today but.
No power, battery shows full on charger.
Checked all connections, change the fuse refitted battery and nothing.
No lights no horn no spark.
Everything was ok when I put her away 2 weeks ago.
Any ideas more than welcome

Mr Lucas' gremlin, probably got in and loosened an earth or a crimp has broken/come off  on the feed line.

I was thinking it could be a dodgy earth.
Garage has been shut up for a couple of weeks and its been very damp here.

I picked up a 600 bandit for my son and rode it 50 miles home ( he took it the last 5 miles), went fine . parked it in the garage and didnt start again for 3 months.. after changing ecu, loom, cdi , switches I took it to a main dealer. 3 days they took to find the fault. a break in the feed wire near the steering column, a common fault apparently, even the dealer didnt find straightaway.v(spare loom had same fault)!!

I was due to ride my Firestorm on 'ride for heroes' ride, worked ok the day before, morning of the ride the battery had expired. frantic run around to find a replacement. I always take keys out when parked so dont leave on on purpose.

Charged battery and it dropped 5 volts in as many minutes.
New battery required.
Thank you to those who took the time to help.
