Help Fast Please, No ignition Power

[ChemoDave]

Hi

I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction, I rode over to a friends house and now the bike wont start or do anything.

Went out to leave
Turn the ignition key on
All lights and normal startup sequence done
Hit the start button
**I give half a turn the cut everything out completely **

When I tried the cycle the key from on to off
on the on position = nothing
turn it to off = the needles on the dash all do the cycle lap of the instruments...

HELP PLEASE...................................................................

Ive checked all the fuses under the lefthand side top panel, near the dash.
Checked the battery, checked the batt leads

Im suggesting something shorted out the power, but have no idea what.

Any info right at this point in time out be greatly appreciated.
Dave
