I have a 2011 C14 and just now have had to replace the factory battery - no complaints about that!
I had the battery out for a few days while the new battery was shipped. New battery shows 13.29v just sitting there with nothing attached. After installing, I've got no Kipass - or anything else. I've never had trouble with Kipass before. My battery connections are solid. I tried the gray connector trick - nothing. I looked at all the fuses, but every one I pulled at looked good.
Is it possible I got a lead touching something it shouldn't have when I was reinstalling and fried something? Any suggestions are welcome. The big girl has never given me any trouble before, but she's sure being obnoxious right now.
The connector on top of the starter relay may have been disturbed while you were digging the battery out, but, since you're checking the 30A fuse (highly suggested) you will have to remove the connector anyway... Take the extra step and check fuses with an ohmeter if you have one.

However, the bike will not start. The display only stays on for maybe 3-5 seconds, then goes blank. I do have the red blinky light now. Any thoughts on this set of symptoms?
I now have the battery on the Battery Tender to get it pumped up to where it needs to be and will go through the remaining fuses again.
I appreciate the guidance - I'll make sure my battery is really up to par.
One additional observation that I should have included in the previous note. Normally when I would turn the key to the run position, I would hear/feel what I assume was the fuel pump pressuring up for a bit. After that I'd hit the starter button and be on my way. Now I don't hear that running. Also, my gauges don't do the wake-up sweep. It's almost as if the bike was performing a power-on self-test, not finding any fuel pressure, and deciding there was no point in proceeding.
Does that make any sense?
I'm leaning towards the bad connection or bad battery scenario. The electronics have enough "juice" to read your KiPass FOB and unlock the keyswitch but once additional power demands are made by the gauges, fuel pump, etc. the poor connection causes the voltage to drop and everything then just shuts down.
You noted that the main fuse had popped. What might have caused that? This item concerns me and makes me wonder if you might have accidentally hooked the battery up backwards.
