Have tried 2 different batteries all do the same. I would think that when a new full charge battery is in there and i turn key it should light something or toot horn or something but acts totally dead.
It sounds like you have a bad connection in either the battery cables at the battery or on the back of the ignition switch. Is it the proper battery for the bike with the + and - on the right ends? Check the fuses too.
Don't overlook a poor electrical connection inside the battery cable end where the fitting is put on to the wire.
