The bike won'y turn over. Thereis a buzzing noise but a weird clicking. The engine kill switch is in the off position. Still sounded like that with the switch on.I did recently charge the battery and actually tried its Master key too. Odd click and buzz persisted. Any advice?

+1 on the battery. Mine made the same kind of noise. Put it on charge for a few hours and it started right up. No more noise!

I suspect the fuse since I had started the bike and two days later all the creepy sounds and no start occured. I'll re=charge the battery. I may not have done an adequate time on its charge up. I notice that the light was on inside the underseat area. It's a pain in the butt getting it towed due to the wheel configuration. I'm not looking forward to removing side panels to check the second and third bank of fuses.. Thanks for your help.

For the hidden fuse there is a cover held in place with a screw under the seat. The hidden fuse can be found under it but is inside a wire connection that does not look like a fuse cover. I think is was JerryW who had a good picture of it in a thread a few months back. Even if you don't have problems it is a good place to put some dielectric grease as a preventive step. At lease one member was stranded when the fuse failed from corrosion.
