    Okay, I went for a ride to a market and when I was trying to leave it cranked over and died.

    No ignition, no electrics. No electrical stuff of any kind. 

    I checked the fuses under the seat, but they were okay. 

    I'm hoping it is just something simple.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    This happened to me with a 2009 model FatBob, it was the ""System Relay". left hand side directly below the seat is a cover I could pull off. There is a couple of small black box looking things with spade terminals, don't remember which one, relay cost AUD$16-00. Does your ride have a "System Relay"?

    Did the fuses you checked include the "main" fuse?

    and as said, neg. terminal. (not uncommon on soft tails )
