Greetings! I have a 2005 ST-1300 that has given me years of reliable fun and service with no issues. I took it for a decent trot a couple days ago (~200 miles) with no issue. A couple rainy days later, I went to go for another ride, and it would not start. The bike has a new battery and cranks over vigorously. One thing that I noted was that the lights in the dash remained on after I switched the key off. I dug into the battery and disconnected it while I trouble shoot. I also noticed that when I switch it on, I do not hear the usual hum/whirring of what I presume was the fuel pump. There is just cold dead silence when I switch it on. I have the seats and right and left plastic off just behind and below the tank and have a bit more time to diagnose this week. I'm checking here to see if this is a known issue, or if anyone has any ideas or "watchouts" to keep in mind. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Cheers!
