HELP! Problem!

[bigbehr]

I hope someone can help me with my problem. I bought a 2001 Tiger a couple months ago, and have had no problems at all until now (31,000 miles). Incredible bike!! Last week I was in a huge rain/hail storm. The bike brought me home safely. The next day the bike reluctantly started, and I got about a 100 yards, and then just shut down in a fraction of a second. The lights still come on, but nothing at all when I press then ignition switch. No turn over, no clicking....nothing. I'm guessing a fuse possibly? I'd hate to tow her in to the dealer just for a fuse...  Any suggestions appreciated. thanks

Welcome Big Behr; please help the friendly folks on this forum by filling out your profile so we know which model of Tiger you have and where you are.  Next, put bike-specific questions like this in the correct model forum - that way you'll get a more focussed answer.  In the mean time, check, dry and clean your clutch and side stand switches.

thx, will do

Just thought, being new, you might not actually know what I meant.  The side stand and clutch levers both have cutout switches either of which will prevent  her starting if they're not working correctly.  hopefully, you're savvy enough to check them out yourself?

Thx for the reply. I am not too mechanically inclined, but i will check it out.

OK.  Check the block where they connect into the main loom too.
