My bike was running, stopped, and will not start.
03/19/13 at 09:16:15

On Friday night I noticed my taillight was flickering. I rode Saturday about 30 miles and Sunday about 15 miles. I cranked up my bike and let it warm up. I noticed I had a turn signal out. About 4 minutes later my bike died. It will not crank. I checked the connections to the battery, tight. I took the battery and had it checked, good. Where do I go from here? Thanks....I am truly a beginner.

(fuses are under the seat at the right rear area)... (there are two)... ... but,.. if the short is still touching metal,.. it'll blow again...

I know you said you had the battery checked but I think you need to go back to that before you do anything else. Re-check the connections at the battery.If you have a charger hook that up for a while and see if at least the lights come on when you turn on the key. If you don't have a charger see if you can figure out a way to jump start the bike from an external battery. If you are unsure about how to do this try to find someone who knows how.

If you have a voltmeter, check the voltage across the battery terminals.
A good battery will read between 12 and 13 volts.

It's not unheard of for a battery to suddenly go completly dead with no warning.

Maybe not much consolation to you right now, but you have an "easy to find" problem, that will be inexpensive,........,if not easy to fix. You have a complete battery disconnect, whether it be a fuse or bad connectio, either ground or positive..

But, if it is a fuse, you are always left w/ the problem of "why did the fuse blow" That may not be so easy to find or fix.
