Did you ever get this figured out? I have same problem on '04 V Star 1100. Started to take off from a stop sign and everything went dead. Found fuse under seat, it's good; battery is good, put on charger anyway... NOTHING electrical works when you turn on the key. HELP?!
first you need to replace the battery with a new one. 2 years is about all you can expext from a battery that is not used every day. sounds like your starter motor is not engaging, this could be from low voltage. Try tapping the starter motor with something metal, gently with a small hammer, sometimes a stuck solonoid can cause this.
Jump the starter directly from a freshly charged battery NOT a car battery, if it turns then it's good and you may have a bad starter relay or neutral safety switch or starter switch is poorly grounded.
Battery is under the seat. Buy a battery tender and keep it hooked up when not riding in the winter. If you are in an area of the country where you can ride year round then a battery tender is not necessary. Battery will probably last 3+ years if properly maintained. I owned a 2000 V-Star 1100 Classic and it was a fine bike.
Hey pal, your battery is either behind one of your sidecovers or under your seat. Start w/ the sidecovers 1st....when you find it you don't have to remove it to charge it, but if it won't hold a charge (long term storage) then your gonna pop for a new one.....Good Luck to you friend....Tim
