Motorcycle Repair: suzuki vs800gl, battery connections, indicator lights

Question
Can you help with  this problem?
When I turn on the key the electrical system does not get energized, the indicator lights (neutral light, oil pressure light  etc) do not come on and it won't crank. If I bounce the bike while sitting on it, the indicator lights turn on, but when I push start to crank it, it does not crank, it clicks and the lights go off. The battery is fully charged.
Thanks,
Jim

Answer
You definitely have a connection problem. Check and clean your battery connections and move towards your ignition, starter motor, and ground locations, looking for loose and/or dirty connections. Both positive, and ground sides of circuit, can lead to this problem.
