T, let's trouble-shoot a bit, so the next time this occurs you'll have the answer. When you turn the key (most street bikes), you close the circuit between your battery, starter solenoid, and some sort of ECU box. There is also a charging circuit (typically alternator), lighting circuit, and a main fuse bank. In order for the battery to discharge effectively, it needs to be grounded properly. Here we go:
How did you check your battery? How OLD is the battery? Are the cells full, or is it a gel battery? Lights come on but just a "click", or absolutely dead nuts? All wires properly routed and cleanly and securely connected? (No hack-ups with butt connectors and black tape??) Normally, will the bike run? (Not locked-up or anything?)
Kill switch dis-engaged (That was for you, Warlock. Isn't that your fav band?) Ignition switch properly and cleanly connected? Follow the juice with a meter from the battery onward and see where it stops. Do you have a wiring diagram? (Yes; it is a PITA, but if you're gonna ride a bike, it is "**** info.")
What kind of bike is it? (Year, size, miles, details...) Pics help, too.

the bat is less than 4months old the bike is a 07 zzr600 .used a voltage meter so its not the bat. i checked all conections that can be checked without complete disasembly. oh yea when i conect the bat the gauges move for a sec but thats it other than that when the key is turned on the bike is a dead as if the key was off , nothing works just dead duck, no lights no gauges no horn nothing so any ideas would be greatly appreciated i went through all the normal trouble shooting im stumped
