    Hi from NZ
    Have just bought a 2010 Black SE from Auckland only 23000KMs on it and had it shipped down to Christchurch in South Island
    My brother in Auckland had the bike at his place and started it a few times no problem.but was kept outside in Rainy Auckland weather for a couple of weeks under a tarpaulin then day before the shipping he said it wont start and headlights dont come on.
    Had it shipped down to mine and it has ariived last night so have had only a brief look at it.
    I have removed battery to charge overnight it looks like a reasonable new MoBatt gel one i have also bought a new battery and have fully charged that one but not put it in the bike yet as i am at work.
    Before i did remove the battery.it was noted that with the ignition on Headlights are not on but the bikes dash lights up, and rev counter cycles up, fuel pump primes and when starter is pressed slight click from relay under seat but nothing else happens.
    No relay click when clutch is out so that proves clutch switch good. All fuses checked and are good.any Ideas i will have another thorough look when i get home tonight Thanks in Advance...
    Just seen Camillos thread from about six months back looks like ive got to take the tank off and have a look at the 8 pin connector for damage.. hope this is it cant wait to go for a ride on it

    I would reserve all judgement until it has been connected to a fully charged battery. If the ECU senses insufficient juice it goes into hibernation........

    Check all the fuses, the headlight fuse is on the same circuit as the starter.

    In the bad rainy weather it was covered under a tarpaulin , humidity may have caused sweating/corrosion in the pins/plugs of the fuse's , no current flow ! Known as "dry joint" various metals oxidise , aluminium is a good/bad example , when the corrosion form's it opens the grip of the female side of the socket joining. So wiggling the fuse's or pulling them out and reseating them often fixes this problem !
