Broke down

With my keyless the kill switch and clutch are the ignition "ON".
Release of the clutch leaves the ignition "ON" and the lights as well.
I MUST break the bad habit of using the kickstand to shut down the motor.
Too easy to then climb off the motor, forget to turn off the kill switch and walk away.
This is what I did. Jump start was from a big-ass diesel pickup truck and perhaps I fried something.
What's strange to me is that all ran well for a couple miles when suddenly it shut down just like throwing the kill switch.

My battery tests a couple volts low and is now on the charger. We shall see . . .

The lights definitely will go off after a certain amount of time.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN . . .
After learning to properly use my multi-meter and how to check the battery and fuses from Ken @DEcosse I lucked out and found
the 20 amp fuse was fried. Replaced and Kong starts fine now. There were NO issues with the keyless system!!!
Hope there is no more stupidity on my part from now forward . . . likely a useless hope!
THANKS KEN!

From the info supplied (no voltage present at any of the Fuses) it must have been Fuse 11 that failed - that should be 30A, not 20A
And probably why it failed - after the battery was drained, the charging system was sending high current to re-charge the battery plus the normal operating current (which is already in the 15-18 A or so range) and took it over that threshold.
So be sure you have a 30A fuse in that slot!
