Bike is dead after trying to start (i'm desperate)

Hi all, please I need some help.

My 03 just went totally dead after attempting to start it. Here is the full story.

After a very busy spring and summer it was ready for the first ride. The batt has been on the optimizer all winter and after servicing the bike with everything it started fine and I let it run hot until fans turned on - no problem.

I returned after a short test ride and turned it off. As I turn the ignition the fans start and I press the starter switch - the starter motor stalled and everything went dead.

Now when I turn the key to ignition dash is dead and no action from the bike. Then when I turn the key back to off the RPM arm starts to jump as if power is connected. But still dead :(

I checked all fuses, they're all okay.

What is happening :( ?

Please help guys !?

Hi preben,

It sounds like your battery is shot, swap for a new one and all should be good.
