Sounds like someone put it in park rather than just locking the steering.... drain on the battery. You said battery was fine... how was it tested?

Some bikes also have a 2nd fuse, a master fuse if you will, that is off and away from the main fuse box. On my old ninja, it was the cause of almost 3 weeks worth of headaches at teh end of last summer when I was selling it. The battery had power, tested it, no power, bought a new battery, still no power, everything was fine fuses and everything else, it turned out that there was a hidden second fuse in the tail that cut power to the rest of the bike.

He has battery meter. It was putting out plenty of power. Even if he put a jump on it, no sound, no lights, no movement.... nothing.

We may need to look for more ffuses then.....
