Three quick things to check would be
Kill switch .I think the lights stay on for that .
Main fuse or main relay .
Ignition switch .Turn the bars back and forth a little and see if it lights up .
Or it could be as simple as a loose battery connection.
Good luck

If you have a VXII (1200) you have the symptoms of a bad ignition switch wiring harness :cry2: Some of them were tied too tight to the steering head,and as the front wheel was turned would stress crack some of the wires in the harness,breaking contact.When I bought my '99 with only 22,000 miles on it,repairs had already been done on it.I have since had all new wires put in the harness.I did not tie it fast to the head when I reinstalled it. :thmup:
If you have a 1300,I do not have any experience with that harness. :thk:

The 1300 harness has the same problem as the XII but not as often . They just do not want to give you that extra inch of wire
