No Start Help Please

[spinnin]

Today I fired up my bike no problem, drove fine to work everything is cherry. Lunch time I have to ride about 40 minutes away to get a part. When I stop and fill up with fuel I couldn't get the thing started again. As soon as I would press the starter button it would kill all the lights, gauges, everything.

I push started it out of there and rode to another parts place 25 minutes away, same problem. If I press the kill switch to turn off the bike the lights (neutral, oil etc) stay on and make me think its not the battery, as soon as I press the starter switch she goes completely dead though.

Checked the fuses they seem good, what else should I do? I'm assuming bikes don't have alternators, am I right? Any input would really help me at this point. Thanks

I don't have a bike. But I'm pretty sure they have alternators. Check your battery connections, sometimes when they're corroded, they wont give you enough current to wind up the starter.

Turned out it was the battery cables...little corroded and one loose connection. Thanks.
