Working on getting my 85 700s started.  The other day it would turn over, and the headlight came on.  However, when I went to try it today, I get no indication of starting, and the headlight is out.  I was working on the turn signals and had been moving things around under the front fairing.  What could I have done?  I can't see anything unplugged or anything.

Is the battery drained?  Are the connections

good/tight?  Do you have a good ground?

Ok, well they're back on now.  Something was apparently loose, but that's a little scary that I still don't know what it was.  If anyone has any ideas that would be great.  Its something that is connected to both the headlight and starter, everything else works normally.
