'98 1500 intruder powerless

Howdy; With batt. fully charged I'm getting no power indications anywhere except headlight coming on. Does this point to anything in particular?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Have you checked your main fuse at the battery? Or your other fuses? Failing that it could be a faulty clutch switch, kickstand switch, or even a faulty kill switch. Check all these.

Thank you...I will check those items, but how/why would just the headlight come on?

I don't intend sounding helpless/ignorant but I'm somewhat at a disadvantage because I'm having to travel to the bike because I've no way currently to haul the bike to my house so I've gotta make my travels really count...Is the headlight on a different circuit?

@stumped01 looks like the headlight circuit comes right of the battery. I'd begin at the starter relay (you'll find the main fuse there as well) and the connections to it and from it. Could be simply a bad fuse or a bad connection. Take a test light, a multimeter, a replacement relay on your travels to your bike and check it out.
