Call Colin at Atlantic Cycle Service in Melbourne, FL. Tell him your plight. He's a pretty good guy and been working on Burgman's for years at his shop and is a Burgman owner. He buys and sells Burgman's as well. 321-725-8151

Colin may know someone mechanically inclined in the area you are located. It's worth a call.
Additionally, send an email to [email protected], one of the BUSA administrators who may be able to give helpful information.
Good Luck,
LoJo

First thing is check the main fuses under the seat and then the ones in the fusebox to the left of the glovebox. Then make sure your battery cables are clean/tight. If the headlamps are dim or go out with the key on it's a good bet the battery is dead. You'll have to either charge it or replace it before you can verify the charging system is working ( higher voltage running than not basically).
mjr,did that......checked all fuses....Battery is at 13.2 volts..terminals clean....everything just shuts down after turning on the key...all.dash lights for 2 sec. then everything shuts down...keep those suggestions coming......thanks...i wanted to ride up to webster monday ...... thats the reasnon i came to Florida...carl

The ignition switch has a built in resistor so by passing is not an option.
I too was wondering about his year. It does seem to be doing what my 03 did when the switch went bad. So if its an 06, no recall. If he was up here I'd just loan him my spare 08's switch to get home.

Just seen this thread.
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help Carl, I'm just the other side of the bay, about an hour North of you.
I make no claims to be a 650 expert, only having had mine a few months, but willing to do what I can to help a fellow rider.
As for everything dying after a couple of seconds, Have you tried it on the center-stand, with a brake held,and hitting the starter as soon as you turn on to see if it will turn over?
If there's not enough juice to turn it over, could still point to a battery. If it turns over okay, it's probably something else killing things.
I can trek down with some jump leads, and an SUV big enough to make sure there's enough juice available.
