Could be your main power fuse . I'm not that electrically minded. If I'm not mistaking, there's 2 power fuses. On my c50 there's on right by the battery but like a secondary on the left side behind a lower cover at the flasher relay.
Welcome from Kennesaw GA!

There's no need to yell at us, we're happy to help if we can. I've moved your thread over to the Help section so you'll get the appropriate attention.

I'm not positive, but I think the kickstand kill switch might kill that power lead. It's also possible you have a broken, chaffed, or melted wire somewhere.
THANKS BUT ITS EASIER FOR ME TO SEE THE CAP LETTERS PLEASE WRITE IN ALL CAPS ... IT CANT BE THE KICKSTAND SWITCH BECAUSE THERE IS NO POWER GOING TO THE KEY .. THE KICKSTAND SWITCH IS AFTER THE KEY CIRCUIT.......
SINCE YOU ARE UNABLE TO READ THE SMALLER PRINT, YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T NOTICE THE PART ABOUT NEWBIES DUTY TENDING TO THE COFFEE POT WHEN YOU JOINED THIS FORUM...SO, WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU GET TO IT, THE POTS EMPTY.
LEAVE HIM ALONE, MONKEEBUTT.

BAD MONKEY! NO BANANA!
WHY ARE WE YELLING AT THE MONKEY AGAIN?
WHEN DID WE STOP YELLING AT THE MONKEY?
Is it possible that he has a fried ignition? I was reading about the bikes with spotlights and burning up the ignition if wired the wrong way (I ran a separate harness with a relay). Weren't there ignition recalls for a few years as well?

There have been a number of people who's ignition wiring fried. Yes, that's entirely possible.
Yes, the fried ignition is entirely possible. The "accessory" plug is wired through a keyed circuit which relies on the ignition barrel to complete the connection. When it is used for high draw accessories like spot lights or high output stereo amplifiers, the internal resistance inside the connection is so great that it causes the connection to overheat and eventually melt.
you responding guys do realize the poor guy can't read all this...

"THANKS BUT ITS EASIER FOR ME TO SEE THE CAP LETTERS PLEASE WRITE IN ALL CAPS"

not poking fun at the poor guy but wonder if he can read the signs on the road if they too are not in all Caps...notice I wrote that part in smaller text so not too offend him...see...I can be "that guy"...compassionite...understanding.
IN ALL BROWSERS, HOLDING DOWN THE CTRL KEY ON THE KEYBOARD AND HITTING THE + KEY WILL INCREASE THE FONT SIZE TO HELP YOU READ THINGS THAT ARE TOO SMALL.

There are other solutions than yelling at everyone. Just saying.
glasses help too....btw..where'd he go...
Couldn't read the street signs and should've taken a left turn in Albuquerque.
