Well I had another topic on this but I have narrowed down the problem a little bit.

Background: Had an accident in February and the one time I tried to start it the bike started and ran fine after the accident. I put on a whole new front end, I have aftermarket gauges on + headlights.

I had dropped it off a follow board members house for him to wire the gauges and lights. He says the bike didn't start after I had dropped it off before he did any work so I don't think its his wiring that's the problem. The only thing it does is prime the pumps.

He put on a set of used OEM gauges and when in dealer mode it doesn't throw a faulty code (shows c-00).

Currently: I am getting the bike back tomorrow and was wondering how do I even start to diagnose an electrical problem? I'll go over the simple stuff like maybe bad connections but after that I'm at a loss. Any help or ideas on where I can start or what it could be would be appreciated.
