This is a mystery to me .I went out on Xmas eve for a quick 30 mile ride, came back washed and dryed off the bike with seat off and tank hinged up, since then no go, just a clicking from the two relays on the side of the battery. The only thing that works is the imobiliser light, no lights ignition or anything.
Any suggestions guys?

Phil,

Down on the right hand side of the engine (as you sit on the bike) towards the front you will find the starter solenoid and a couple of connector blocks, these are notorious for vibrating loose and don't take kindly to being covered in water ... get in amongst them and disconnect, wipe off and reconnect them, this really only applies to the pop on pop off ones as they are usually the culprits, also check the fuses and the battery connections.

Hope that helps.

Sounds like it could be a relay knackered.Some Dukes are fitted with some real cheapo Siemens relays.Try swapping the two around that are near the battery to see what works.Had two fail on my wifes 900 Monster,now keep a couple of spares under the seat.
