if you turn the key to on, have the kill switch set to on and kick it does it get spark?

Now the bike is totally dead. No lights, panel lights or electrical operation at all. The battery tests OK, as does the 20 amp fuse. I suspect a fault in the ignition/key assembly, or a relay.
Good day. This bike has 3200 miles and has always been stored in a garage. It is in excellent shape, short of being dead. I would try bump starting, except I'm recovering from a broken leg and am unable to push the bike back uphill if it didn't start. So... I'm still troubleshooting this problem.
Did you check the battery ground when you tested the battery? Also did you test the battery with a load on it? If everything is dead and the fuses and battery are good, I usually start checking grounds next
I did in fact try starting the bike while it was plugged into a battery charger (before testing the voltage of the battery), and the symptoms on the bike stayed the same. No lights, panel lights or other sounds or noises. I did notice that the battery charger indicator light would turn from "green" indicating a full charge to "red" indicating not charging or charged when I turned the ignition key to the on position. I thought this might indicate a short or fault condition. What do you think?
