I think I "broke" it
I have a 2013 RT with 24,000 miles. It has always had problems with the battery holding a charge, unless it gets ridden at least once a week. Not the current problem (at least I dont think so). We are on vacation, with our bykes, so it's getting plenty of ryding time. This morning, I went to start it, and as I was pushing the start button, the charger cord to my Sena, hit the passenger footrest. After a loud electrical squeal in my ear, the byke will not start. The start screen will not come up, but pushing the mode button, it will scroll through all the rest of the screens. No codes are showing. We also tried jumping, but without the start screen, cant start it. Any ideas?

The battery died or loose poles

Sounds as if you blew a fuse somewhere. Check them out.

If your charger positive end hit metal it most definitely would have blown the fuse. I am guessing it is off the 40 amp accessory fuse. But I would think there would only be a 3 amp inline fuse before that. It has to be a fuse in my opinion. I know with all my heated helmets on the sleds they have a 3 amp inline and if the radio end touches metal it will blow that fuse. (Not the entire circuit though)

Bummer.....
Most RT owners keep their rydes on battery tenders as they do seem to loose charge over time. start checking fueses and if this is not a new battery 6 years is a good run and time for a change.

Make sure you check the main relays. I had a similar problem ended up being a loose relay.
