I have a 1982 CB759F Super Sport. I just changed the oil, clutch cable and tightened the fuel valve. Bike started with no issues. 4 hours later I tried to take the bike for a spin. Rolling out of driveway in neutral, i turned the key on. The lights turned on, then i pushed the starter and everything shut off and I cannot get power to anything.

Battery is new and tested at 12 v. Connections are tight. I dont see any loose cables. Main fuse is good and so are the remaining fuses.

Any help is appreciated. Otherwise i will buy a newer bike.

Did you check the fuses?
 They should be under a plastic cover mounted to the center of the handle bars.

Use a tester to see if the fuses are getting power. One just never knows.

Check the small red wire coming out of the plug at the starter rely. Make sure it's pushed in and seeing 12v.  Also make sure the battery work under a load.  I just had a battery go bad. It tested 12v with no load but couldn't even light up a light bulb.

Thanks for the reply. I bought a test light and found the main fuse was bad even though it appeared fine. Bike is running now. In the meantime I bought a 2002 Honda VTX 1800 c. Both bikes running well, what else could I ask for. 

Thanks again.
