POP! What the heck was that?

[Devgus]

Hey guys Devin here with a little problem,

So I went to start my magna today and had a little issue. Here's the rundown:

I walk up put in the key turn it to the on position.
I have all the lights at this point, I put the bike into Neutral (standing beside the bike),
Flip the kill switch to run
As soon as I touch the starter button I get a Pop! from the bike and then nothing.
no lights, no engine turning over, no nothing.

After checking the battery connections i ruled that out. The starter button and Kill switch both seem to be clean, and all the small fuses under the left side cover seem to be good. I'm thinking after some discussion with Greg that its my main fuse.

Has anyone else had this problem? or does anyone have any comments or suggestions?

[Devgus]

I've ruled out the main fuse so far. Any other suggestions?

Take the battery connections loose and clean them well.  The pop could have been an arc at a high resistance point.

Check the cable on the starter and see if it is loose and/or grounding out.
