I was test riding my cx500 after doing some carb work. I bogged down and was trying to restart my bike when i heard a sound that was similar to a light bulb blowing out. I lost all electronics at that point. Got the bike home and checked the fuses which were all fine and tested the battery which was also fine. Any suggestions would be appreciated?

Check battery terminals are tight, then check starter solenoid.
Some had a 35amp fusible link screwed onto solenoid
