Ran great and then the tach started twitching... Now no power

My 98 Sportster has about 9K miles on it and was running strong. Less than a month on a fully charged, brand new sealed Harley Battery. I checked the fuse area and no mesure of juice with a volt meter. All fuses are fine as far as I can see.
I cleaned all the contact points on battery and connected again to make sure it was not dirty or shaken loose.
Any suggestions on how to check the Kill switch, ignition or any other clue will be followed up and greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Jay J.
